A - 1 ,B - 2 ,C - 3 ,D - 4

The correct answer is Option (2): A - 1,B - 2,C - 3 , D - 4

A. Outer integuments:  These are layers of protective tissues that surround the ovule. After fertilization, they develop into the seed coat, also known as the testa (1), which protects the seed.

B. Inner integuments: These are additional layers of protective tissues inside the outer integuments. They contribute to the formation of the seed coat but are not always present in all plant species. The inner layers of the seed coat are collectively called the tegmen (2).

C. Ovary: The ovary is a part of the female reproductive organ of a flower. After fertilization, it develops into the fruit (3), which encloses the seeds.

D. Ovules: Ovules are structures contained within the ovary of a flower. They are the female reproductive cells that, after fertilization, develop into seeds (4) within the ovary.
