Solution

The correct option is D Stony endocarp
Drupe is a type of fruit having outer membranous exocarp, fleshy mesocarp and a stony endocarp. The seed is not fleshy in a drupe. Since the epicarp and mesocarp are soft, the entire pericarp which includes all three layers, cannot be called stony.
So, the correct answer is 'Stony endocarp'.
