Solution

The correct option is A Polycarpellary apocarpous gynoecium
Aggregate fruits are the fruits that develop from the multi-carpellary apocarpous ovary. It becomes a fruitlet because each carpel is separated from one another in the apocarpous ovary. These fruits make a bunch of fruitlets which is known as etaerio. It is an aggregate of small berries. Eg. Polyalthia, Annona squamosa (Custard-apple). In etaerio of Annona, all the berries are arranged densely on the thalamus.
So the correct answer is 'Polycarpellary apocarpous gynoecium'.
