Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

After fertilization, the nature, ripened ovary develops into fruit. The ovary wall forms the covering of the fruit called fruit wall or pericarp. Some other post fetrilization changes also occur like nucellus develops into perisperm, ovules develop into seeds, outer integument forms testa, inner integument forms tegmen, etc.
