Solution

The correct option is B
Petals
Once fertilization occurs, flowers prepare themselves for the development into embryos. The staples, petals, hymens, style and stigma become dry and ultimately fall off. The ovary develops into fruit and ovules develop into seeds. Egg develops into embryo which gives rise to a new plant.
