Solution

The correct option is D Perianth and peduncle
After pollination and fertilization, the fruit develops from a ripe ovary or any floral part. On the basis of the floral part from which the fruit develops these may be classified as true fruits, false fruits or parthenocarpic fruits. Further, fruits are also classified as simple, aggregate and composite. Sorosis is a composite fruit that develops from a catkin, spike and spadix inflorescence as is found in mulberry, jackfruit and pineapple, the edible part of which are the perianth and peduncle.
