Solution

The correct option is C

Ovary wall


After fertilisation, the mature, ripened ovary develops into a fruit. The ovary wall forms the covering of the fruit called fruit wall or pericarp. Some post fertilisation changes also occur like nucellus develops into perisperm and ovules develop into seeds.
