Solution

The correct option is B Parenchymatous pulp
Fleshy or succulent are simple fruits in which the pericarp usually forms the pulp. The tissue of the pulp is parenchyma as it is soft. The seeds are not fleshy.
Collenchyma and sclerenchyma have deposits of pectin and lignin respectively which make the tissue hard and thus not suitable for eating.
The correct answer is 'Parenchymatous pulp'.
