Question

Which part withers/falls off after fertilization in flower?

• A. Sepals
• B. Petals
• C. Stamens
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

• The fusion of the male and the female gamete leads to the formation of a zygote.
• After fertilization, the zygote divides several times to form an embryo within the ovule.
  
• The ovule develops a tough coat and is gradually converted into a seed. The ovary grows rapidly and ripens to form a fruit.
• Meanwhile, the petals, sepals, stamens, style, and stigma may shrivel and fall off.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
