in flowers
B

C
in cones
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Seeds are found inside the cone on the upper surfaces of the cone scales. Open cones have dropped their seed; so collect closed cones only, preferably by picking them from trees. Collect cones from well-formed, vigorous trees.

Detailed explanation-2: -Their seeds are carried by cones. The majority of conifers are evergreen trees or trees that have leaves all year long. Coniferous forests have tall trees with leaves as needles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conifers are cone-bearing seed plants which develop their seeds inside cones.

Detailed explanation-4: -Female pine cones use their woody structure to keep their seeds safe. They keep their seeds safe so the seeds can hopefully be pollinated and grow. Each female pine cone has numerous spirally arranged scales, with two seeds on each fertile scale. Male pine cones produce pollen, which is like a powder.
