Solution

The correct option is D Thalamus
Apple and pear fall under the category of false fruits, where any other part of the floral structure is converted into fruit instead of the ovary. In apple and pear the thalamus is converted into fruit, while the ovary is thin and papery reminant.
So, the correct answer is 'Thalamus'
