Which part of the flower is responsible for making seeds?
A
anther
B
sepal
C
pistil
D
petal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -pistil, the female reproductive part of a flower. The pistil, centrally located, typically consists of a swollen base, the ovary, which contains the potential seeds, or ovules; a stalk, or style, arising from the ovary; and a pollen-receptive tip, the stigma, variously shaped and often sticky.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once pollen gets to the ovary within the flower, the ovary develops into a fruit. The ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds inside of this fruit.

Detailed explanation-3: -The top of the pistil is called the stigma, which is a sticky surface receptive to pollen. The bottom of the pistil contains the ovary and the narrowed region in between is called the style. The male contribution or pollen is produced in the anther, and seeds develop in the ovary.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pistil of the flower is the female reproductive structure of the flower. It is divided into different structures such as stigma, style, ovary and ovule. The design of the pistil is to support the pollination process, which ultimately leads to fertilization.

Detailed explanation-5: -After flowers are pollinated and fertilized, they produce seeds in the ovary of the flower.
