Answer 1

The correct option is D 1 and 3

Legumes and siliqua are dehiscent fruits in which dehiscence occurs from two dorsiventral sutures from apex to base.

Follicle is a dehiscent fruit in which dehiscence occurs along either of the two sutures.

The pattern of dehiscence in a capsule can vary from pore formation to longitudinal slits in different varieties of capsules.

So, the correct answer is '1 and 3'.
