Answer 1

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

Pears fall under the category of fruits called "pomes" which are simple fleshy fruits having semi-hard cartilaginous part around seeds comprising of the true fruit and surrounding fleshy part as the accessory fruit (edible part). So the assertion is correct.

But fruit develops from Thalamus of the flower. So the reason is wrong.

So, the correct option is C.
