Solution
The correct option is B Lomentum of Acacia
A schizocarpic fruit is lomentum of Acacia. Acacia is a genus of shrubs and trees, often spine-bearing, that belongs to the subfamily Mimosoideae (family: Fabaceae). The fruits are the seed-bearing pods typical of Fabaceae (formerly Leguminosae).
Lomentum is a dry fruit of certain leguminous plants, such as the tick trefoil, having constrictions between the seeds and separating at maturity into one-seeded segments. A loment (or lomentum) is a type of indehiscent legume fruit that breaks apart at constrictions occurring between segments, so that each segment contains one seed. It is a type of schizocarp.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
