What becomes a fruit?
A
ovary
B
ovule
C
pistil/carpel
D
stamen/anther
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carpel: ↑ Reproductive organ of a flower, which includes the ovary, stigma, and style. After fertilization, the carpel becomes the fruit.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The growing pollen tube reaches the ovary through the style tube, and penetrates the ovule through a tiny pore. After fertilization, the ovary will develop into a fruit and the ovules will develop into the seeds.

Detailed explanation-4: -A simple fruit is formed from a flower with one carpel, or multiple carpels fused together so that it looks like just one carpel. The ovary wall surrounding the carpel or carpels ripens into an independent fruit (independent in the sense that it isn’t fused together with other ovaries).
