Solution

The correct option is B Aril
The fleshy edible part of litchi is the fleshy aril which is a modification of the outer layer of the seed coat known as testa. The seeds and thus its cotyledons are inedible. The outer covering is made of pericarp and thalamus is not involved in the formation of fruit.
So, the correct answer is 'Aril'.
