The correct answer is D. there is the remain of a style.
Here's why:
Maize Grain as a Fruit:
Maize grains are technically fruits, specifically caryopses.
A caryopsis is a type of dry fruit where the seed coat is fused to the ovary wall.
The presence of the style's remnant (the part that connected the flower's stigma to the ovary) is a key indicator that the structure is a fruit, not just a seed.
Thanks for your contributions. The correct answer remains option D. Options A,B and C qualifies maize to be referred to as seed but because even when the ovary has undergone some changes after fertilization it becomes a fruit, as the style still remains.
C is the correct answer my school please correct. it is a fruir because of the endoman-fluid
