Solution

The correct option is C Embryo is the fertilised ovule
The embryo is formed from the zygote which is formed by the fertilisation of egg by the male gamete. The ovule develops into a seed after fertilisation and hence, it is called the fertilised ovule. The seed carries the future embryo in it. Upon seed germination, the embryo forms the plumule and radicle which develops into the future shoot and root of the plant, respectively.
