Solution

The correct option is A Cypsela
Cypsela is a dry indehiscent single seeded fruit of sunflower or Asteraceae family.
Nuts usually belong to the family Fabaceae .
Carcerulus is a type of dry schizocarp (usually has 2 seeds) which is not like single seeded fruit of sunflower.
Cremocarp is also a type of schizocarp, commonly found in family Apiaceae or carrot family.
So, the correct answer is 'Cypsela'
