Solution
The correct option is A Drupe
In strictly botanical terms, coconut is a
fibrous one-seeded drupe. It means the dry drupe.
A drupe is basically a type
of fruit in which a fleshy part encompasses the hardened outer part. It, in

A drupe has three layers, which are the exocarp
(means the outermost ‘hardened’ layer), the mesocarp (means the fleshy middle
part) and the endocarp (means the hard layer surrounding the seed.
