Answer:

A large number (hundreds) of pollen pollinated ovules.

Step-by-step explanation:

A fertilized ovule is transformed into a seed after pollination and fertilization. And the fertilized ovary develops into the fruit. When a fruit such as oranges has hundreds of seeds, this means that hundreds of pollen have pollinated the ovules. This must have been followed by fertilization of the ovules. The multiples of the fertilized ovules transformed into hundreds of seeds.
