Hint 1

Identify the part P points to and what it becomes after fertilisation.

Hint 2

After fertilisation, the ovule forms the seed and the ovary forms the fruit.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. P points to the ovules inside the ovary, and ovules contain the female gametes. Without ovules there is no fertilisation, so no seed develops.

  2. With no fertilisation, the ovary does not develop into a fruit. The scheme takes formation of fruit as the answer: option (C).
