Solution
The correct option is C Follicle
A fruit which is monocarpellary superior and dehisces by one ventral suture only is called as a follicle. A follicle is a dry unilocular fruit formed from one carpel, containing two or more seeds. It is usually defined as dehiscing by a suture in order to release seeds. Some difficult cases exist however, so that the term indehiscent follicle is sometimes used, which has indehiscent fruits that could be considered intermediate between a (dehiscent) follicle and an (indehiscent). An aggregate fruit that consists of follicles may be called as a follicetum. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
