Solution

The correct option is A (A) and (R) is true (R) is correct explanation to (A)
  • We consume all the type of fruits. So, all the fruits we consume are not categorized as real or true fruits. There are two types of fruits, true and false fruits.
  • The true fruits are the fruits that develop from the ovary. The false fruits are the ones that develop from the other floral parts of the plant.
  • In most of the false fruits, the thalamus and the pedicel take part in fruit formation.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
