Based on the "How do angiosperms reproduce sexually?" diagram, what are the correct transformations of the ovary and ovule after fertilization?

  • A: The ovary develops into a fruit, and the ovule develops into a seed containing an embryo and food supply.
  • B: The ovary develops into a seed, and the ovule develops into a fruit containing multiple seeds.
  • C: Both the ovary and ovule develop into fruits to aid in seed dispersal.
  • D: The ovary and ovule both transform into the embryo, which then germinates into a plant.

Explanation

The diagram clearly illustrates that 'The ovary becomes a fruit containing the seeds' and 'The ovule becomes a seed containing an embryo and food supply' after the pollination and fertilization process.
