Answer:

The orbit of 0 is the collection of all points (complex numbers) under iteration of x2 + c starting at the seed 0. The fate of the orbit is its eventual behavior. For example, the orbit may tend to a cycle of some period---its fate would then be that cycle. Or it ---may tend to a fixed point.
