Based on the provided diagrams and descriptions, which of the following correctly pairs a part of a gymnosperm ovule with its corresponding part in a mature seed?

  • A: Integument -> Seed coat
  • B: Megaspore -> Embryo
  • C: Megasporangium -> Food supply
  • D: Ovule -> Pollen

Explanation

The diagrams clearly show the integument as the outer protective layer of the ovule 2n , and the seed diagram shows the seed coat as the outer protective layer of the seed, which develops from the integument. This is a fundamental correspondence in seed plant development.
