Solution

The correct option is C
Only Ovary

A fruit results from maturation of one or more flowers and the gynoecium of the flower(s) forms all or part of the fruit. Inside the ovary/ovaries are one or more ovules where the megagametophyte contains the egg cell. After double fertilisation, these ovules will become seeds. Hence, ovary develops into fruits and ovules turn into seeds.
