Solution

The correct option is C Syconus
A fruit developing from an inflorescence is called a composite fruit. It is of two types i.e. sorosis and synconus. Sorosis develops from a catkin, spike or spadix type of inflorescence whereas the synconus develops from a hypanthodium inflorescence as seen in fig.
Siliqua and samara are simple fruits that develop from a single flower.
So, the correct answer is 'Synconus'.
