Solution
The correct option is B Free ovaries Aggregate fruit develops from a flower with polycarpellary, apocarpous ovary meaning that all the ovaries in the multi-ovary flower are free from each other.
Fused ovaries are found in syncarpous flowers.
Non-functional ovaries will not lead to the formation of fruit.
The arrangement of carpels will not affect the formation of aggregate fruits.
