Solution

The correct option is C Pome of Apple
These are simple fruits with fleshy pericarp. The simple succulent fruits are of 3 types drupe, pome, and berries. It is a simple, fleshy but false fruit as it is surrounded by fleshy thalamus which is edible while actual fruit lies within, e.g., apple, pear, loquat etc.
So the correct answer is 'Pome of Apple'.
