Where are seeds produced in angiosperms?

• A. In the ovary
• B. In the stem
• C. In the bark
• D. In the petals

Answer: (A)

Seeds in flowering plants are produced in the ovary, the swollen base of the female reproductive organ (the pistil) of the flower. Inside the ovary are ovules, and after pollination and fertilization, those ovules develop into seeds. The ovary itself often enlarges to form fruit that helps protect and disperse the seeds. The other options don’t fit because stem, bark, and petals are not the sites where fertilization and seed development occur. The stem and bark are mainly for support and transport of nutrients, while petals are part of the flower’s attractive structure and do not form seeds.
