Solution

The correct option is C If the assertion is true but the reason is false
Samara is an achenial fruit having winged pericarp e.g., Ulmus (Elm) Achenial fruits are single seeded iridescent dry and simple fruits. Achenial winged fruits are called samarium if the wings develop from places other than pericarp, e.g., sepals in Shorea.
