D. The seeds are enclosed in a fruit.

Nicholas Higgins · Answer 2

A describes a gymnosperm.

B describes any type of plant.

C is too vague to even describe a plant.

D (the correct answer) describes an angiosperm (flowering plant). After double fertilization, angiosperms form a fruit over the ovulary of the plant, where the seeds are located.
