The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the region where the body of the ovule fuses with the funicle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - The ovule is a structure in seed plants that develops into a seed after fertilization. - The funicle is a stalk that connects the ovule to the placenta, which is part of the ovary. 2. **Identifying the Fusion Point**: - The question asks for the specific region where the body of the ovule fuses with the funicle. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **A. Micropyle**: This is the opening in the ovule through which the pollen tube enters. - **B. Integuments**: These are protective layers surrounding the ovule. - **C. Hilum**: This is the point of attachment of the ovule to the funicle. - **D. Chalaza**: This is the opposite end of the micropyle, where the integuments meet. 4. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: - The body of the ovule fuses with the funicle at the hilum. Therefore, the correct answer is **C. Hilum**. ### Final Answer: The body of the ovule fuses with the funicle in the region called **hilum**. ---
