Option 1 states that the ovule produces the fruit, while the ovary produces the seed. This is incorrect. After fertilization, the ovary develops into the fruit, not the ovule. The ovule contains the embryo and develops into the seed.

Option 2 correctly states that the ovary produces the fruit, and the ovule produces the seed. The ovary is the part of the flower that surrounds and protects the ovule. After fertilization occurs, the ovary undergoes changes and develops into the fruit, which contains the seeds.

Option 3 incorrectly states that the ovary produces the fruit, but no ovule is required. However, both the ovary and the ovule are essential for the production of the fruit and seed. The ovule contains the embryo, and without it, the development of a seed would not occur.

Option 4 incorrectly states that the ovule produces the fruit, but no ovary is required. As mentioned earlier, it is the ovary that develops into the fruit, while the ovule develops into the seed.

In conclusion, option 2 is the correct answer as it accurately states that the fruit is produced by the ovary, and the seed is produced by the ovule.
