Solution

The correct option is B Mesocarp
Coir is a natural fiber extracted from the fruit of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). The coconut (fruit) is a drupe and has three layers- exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp. While exocarp and mesocarp make up the husk, mesocarp makes up the fibre, called as coir used for commercial purposes.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
