Solution

(c) pollination, fertilisation, embryo, seedling

Sexual reproduction starts with the pollination (whether it is self-pollination or cross-pollination) and then fertilisation of the male and female gametes occur. After fertilisation, the zygote divides several times to form an embryo within the ovule. The ovule develops a tough coat and gradually develops into a seed.
