Solution

The correct option is A Capsule or berry
Solanaceae is the potato family of the flowering plants. It is also called the nightshade family.
The gynoecium of Solanaceae members consists of a single compound pistil of 2 carpels, a single style, and a superior ovary with 2 locules by false partitioning, each with many axile ovules.
A nectary disk is present around the base of the ovary. Thus, the fruit is a berry or septicidal capsule.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
