The right answer is A.

A seed is a unitary release structure containing an embryo, reserve substances and protected by one or more integuments. In botany, the seed refers to the organ of dissemination of the higher plants from the maturation of the fertilized egg.

In Spermatophytes, It is a dissemination organ resulting from the maturation of an egg by a grain of pollen (sexual reproduction).

Seed plants are an evolutionary advantage because A) SEEDS ALLOW THE TRANSPORT OF WATER AND NUTRIENTS.

Seeds contain an embryo that allows them to remain dormant until such time that their environmental conditions improve before they can grow and develop into plants.

These seeds help the plants decrease their dependency on water to help in their reproduction.
