Solution

The correct option is C If the assertion is true but the reason is false
Caryopsis is a superior chenille fruit where tests and pericarp are inseparably fused, e.g., wheat, maize etc. Achenial fruits are single seeded iridescent dry and simple fruits. The pericarp is dry and undifferentiated. The pericarp of wheat is thus dry and it is fused with tests
