Solution
The correct option is D Ovary
The event of double fertilization and subsequent growth and development results in the development of ovule into the seed. Each seed contains a young plant embryo and nutritive tissue (the endosperm), both of which are surrounded by a protective seed coat (derived from integument). Monocots have persistent endosperm that serves as a main source of food in the mature seed. Eudicots endosperm nourishes the developing embryo and subsequently stores food in its cotyledons. During development of seed from an ovule following fertilization, the ovary wall surrounding it enlarges and develops into a fruit wall while ovary makes fruit. Thus, the correct answer is D
