• A. Ovary wall $\to$ Pericarp
• B. Ovary $\to$ Fruit
• C. Ovule $\to$ Fruit wall
• D. Integument $\to$ Seed coat

Answer 1

The correct option is C Ovule $\to$ Fruit wall

As a result of fertilization, the ovary develops into fruit. Ovary wall becomes the fruit wall or pericarp. Ovule develops into seed. The integuments or the protective layers of the ovule develop into seed coat.
