Which flower structure becomes the fruit after fertilization?

Petal

Stamen

Ovary

After fertilization, the ovary enlarges and develops into the fruit. The pollen fertilizes an ovule inside the ovary, forming a seed, and the surrounding ovary tissue matures into a fruit that protects and helps disperse those seeds. Petals attract pollinators, stamens produce pollen, and sepals protect the flower bud, but these parts do not become fruit.
