Solution

The correct option is D stony endocarp
A drupe is a simple succulent and indehiscent (which cannot open on its own naturally) fruit where the fruit wall or the pericarp has a thin tough outer epicarp, a fibrous or fleshy middle mesocarp and a hard stony inner endocarp as seen in the coconut shell.
