A
make seeds for reproduction

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer : The function of a flower is to carry out sexual reproduction in plants through the formation of male and female gametes. Flowers ensure that the gametes fertilise to form seeds that further help in reproducing plants.

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. Planting a seed begins the process anew – the new plant, while similar to the parent plant, is not identical.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flowers in plants carry out the reproductive functions of plants. Male and female gametes are fused to produce the seeds. These seeds bear the fruit which undergoes germination to produce new plant structures. This process of reproduction takes place in the reproductive parts of the flower.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pollen is carried by insects or blown by the wind from one flower to another. This process is called pollination. Pollen reaches the new flower and travels to the ovary where it fertilises egg cells (ovules) to make seeds.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gametophytes develop in the flowers. The flowers can produce diaspores without fertilization. After fertilization, the ovary of the flower develops into a fruit containing a seed. The most important function of flowers is reproduction. More items
