Which part of the flower develops into fruit? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which part of the flower develops into fruit?
A. Ovary
B. Ovule
C. Petal
D. Anther
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
After fertilization, the ovary of the flower develops into fruit, while the ovule develops into seed. The ovary wall becomes the pericarp (fruit wall). Petals, sepals, and stamens usually wither. Some fruits are parthenocarpic (without fertilization, e.g., banana). The fruit protects seeds and aids in dispersal. Anther produces pollen grains. Thus, fruit is a mature ovary.
