Final answer:
The correct statement is that the seeds of a flower mature into fruits. Fruits are the fertilized and ripened ovary of a flower, which encapsulates the seeds for protection and dispersal.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the student's question, we look at the statements provided and choose the one that is true. The correct statement is: B. The seeds of a flower mature into fruits. This is because after the process of fertilization, the ovule within the flower's ovary grows and develops into a seed. As the seed continues to mature, the surrounding ovary walls thicken and ripen, eventually forming what we recognize as the fruit. This is an important botanical concept where fruits are considered the fertilized and fully grown, ripened ovary of a plant, often enclosing the seeds and providing protection and a means to disperse the seeds to new locations. Meanwhile, flowers are the reproductive organs of plants and are essential for pollination and fertilization to occur. Therefore, the statement that fruits are the product of the fertilization of flowers is also true in a broad biological context.
