Solution

The correct option is B A peach flower has a single ovule, while a tomato flower has many ovules
After fertilisation, the ovule in a flower develops into a seed and the ovary forms the fruit. A peach flower has a single ovule that develops into a single seed, while a tomato flower has many ovules and therefore many seeds.
