Correct answer
C. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Step-by-step solution
Post-fertilization, various floral parts undergo specific transformations: (A) Nucellus: In some seeds like black pepper and beet, remnants of nucellus are persistent. This residual, persistent nucellus is called perisperm (III). (B) Outer integument: The integuments of ovules harden into tough seed coats. The outer integument forms the outer seed coat, the testa (IV). (C) Ovary wall: The ovary develops into a fruit, and the ovary wall develops into the fruit wall called pericarp (I). (D) Primary endosperm nucleus
