Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In plants, soon after pollination, the flower begins to fade. It is sometimes accompanied by sudden increase in respiration and ethylene production and the ovary transforms into a fruit. The petals, statemens and style wither away. The calyx (sepals) may however persist in some fruits as brinjan and tomato.
