Question

After fertilization, fruit is derived from ______.

Options

• endosperm

• ovule

• ovary

• microsporophyll

Answer 1

After fertilization, fruit is derived from ovary.

Explanation:

After fertilization, the ovary of the flower develops into the fruit. The fruit is essentially the ripened, fertilized ovary along with its contents, such as seeds derived from ovules. Other options like endosperm (a nutritive tissue), ovule (develops into seed), and microsporophyll (a leaf bearing microsporangia) do not form the fruit itself.
