Solution

The correct option is D After fertilisation they give rise to fruits.
After fertilization, the ovary of the flower usually develops into the fruit. Fruits are generally associated with having a sweet taste; however, not all fruits are sweet. The term "fruit" is used for a ripened ovary. In most cases, flowers in which fertilization has taken place will develop into fruits, while unfertilized flowers will not. The fruit encloses the seeds and the developing embryo, thereby providing it with protection. Flowers are bisexual only sometimes. Only some flowers take part in sexual reproduction. Flowers are produced only by angiosperms.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
