Which term is used to denote a plant that produces seeds within a fruit?

• A. Angiosperm
• B. Blade
• C. Copepod
• D. Bioluminescence

Answer: (A)

Plants that produce seeds inside a fruit are flowering plants, called angiosperms. They form flowers, and after fertilization the ovary develops into a fruit that encloses the seeds. This seed-containing fruit is the hallmark that distinguishes angiosperms from gymnosperms, whose seeds are not enclosed in a fruit. The other terms don’t fit because blade refers to a leaf blade, copepod is a crustacean, and bioluminescence is light production—none describe plants that produce seeds within a fruit.
