Identify the correct relationship of an ovary and an ovule in angiosperms:
1. ovary is the enlarged apical portion of the pistil; the ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization
2. ovary is the enlarged basal portion of the pistil; the ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization
3. ovary is the enlarged basal portion of the pistil; the ovary contains ovules, which develop into fruits upon fertilization
4. ovary is the enlarged apical portion of the pistil; the ovary contains ovules, which develop into fruits upon fertilization
