The Seed is Produced by the Maturation of the ____

Question

The seed is produced by the maturation of the ____.  
A) embryo
B) ovule
C) ovary
D) sperm
E) pollen

Accepted Answer

The ovule is the part of the plant that develops into the seed after fertilization. The ovary is the part of the plant that contains the ovule and develops into the fruit. The sperm and pollen are both involved in fertilization, but they do not directly produce the seed. The embryo is formed after fertilization and is part of the seed, but it is not what produces the seed.
