Detailed explanation-1: -The enlarged base of the pistil that encloses the egg cells of the plant is known as Ovary. After fertilization ovary develops into fruit and the walls of the ovary give rise to the pericarp. Thus the correct answer is option C.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ovary: The enlarged basal portion of the pistil where ovules are produced.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization. The ovary itself will mature into a fruit, either dry or fleshy, enclosing the seeds. A simple or unicarpellate ovary is formed from a single carpel, an evolutionarily modified leaf. It has one locule (chamber), within which are the ovules.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ovule is the organ that forms the seeds of flowering plants. It is borne in the ovary of the flower and consists of nucellus protected by integuments, precursors of embryo/endosperm, and seed coat, respectively.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
