## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Characteristics of angiosperms
	**Related Topics**: Plant biology, Gymnosperms, Seed dispersal
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant classification
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
		- Angiosperms are flowering plants.
		- They produce fruits and undergo double fertilization.
		- Gymnosperms are plants with naked seeds.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Identify the characteristics of angiosperms.

		Verification: Angiosperms are distinctly characterized by having enclosed seeds (in fruits) rather than naked seeds.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: Flowers are a defining feature of angiosperms, so this is incorrect as a choice for 'NOT a characteristic.'
[B] ✓: Fruits are also a defining feature of angiosperms, so this cannot be the answer.
[C] ✓: Double fertilization is unique to angiosperms, making this option also incorrect.
[D] :x: Naked seeds are characteristic of gymnosperms, thus making this the correct answer as it is NOT a feature of angiosperms.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing gymnosperms with angiosperms: Remember that gymnosperms have naked seeds, while angiosperms have seeds enclosed in fruits.
		2. Misunderstanding double fertilization: This process is unique to angiosperms, which should help in identifying their characteristics.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Associate angiosperms with flowers and fruits to easily recall their key features.
		2. Remember 'naked seeds' as a hallmark of gymnosperms to avoid mix-ups.
