The correct option is C Fleshy aril
Aril is a fleshy outgrowth from a fertilised ovule or seed and froms the edible part of litchi. Litchi is a false fruit and thus, pericarp which a ripened ovary cannot be the edible part. Seed in the litchi fruit is hard and is considered toxic. So, the correct answer is 'Fleshy aril'.
