Angiosperms have ____
A
covered seeds
B
uncovered seeds
C
pine cones
D
nuts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Angiosperms, also called flowering plants, have seeds that are enclosed within an ovary (usually a fruit), while gymnosperms have no flowers or fruits, and have unenclosed or “naked” seeds on the surface of scales or leaves.

Detailed explanation-2: -All angiosperms have seeds that are covered or protected: this feature separates them from the ‘naked seeds’ of gymnosperms. The success of angiosperms is due to two novel reproductive structures: flowers and fruit. The function of the flower is to ensure pollination.

Detailed explanation-3: -Angiosperms are any type of flowering plant whose seeds (ovules) are enclosed in an ovary (usually a fruit). In more understandable language, angiosperms are common gardening plants that bloom flowers from a hidden seed that is typically enclosed inside a fruit that develops from carpels.

Detailed explanation-4: -In gymnosperms (plants with “naked seeds”-such as conifers, cycads, and ginkgo), the ovules are not enclosed in an ovary but lie exposed on leaflike structures, the megasporophylls.
