Fruit of peanut is
Fruit of peanut is
The correct option is A Pod
A. Pods develop underground, an
unusual feature known as geocarpy. After fertilization, a short stalk
at the base of the ovary (termed a pedicel) elongates to form a
thread-like structure known as a "peg". This peg grows down
into the soil, and the tip, which contains the ovary, develops into a
mature peanut pod.
B. Achene- A small, indehiscent, one
seeded fruit developing from a monocarpellary ovary and in which
pericarp is hard, leathary and remains free from seed coat. E.g.
Mirabilis.
C. Caryopsis- A small,
indehiscent, one seeded fruit developing from a monocarpellary ovary
and in which pericarp is fused with the seed coat. E.g. Wheat.
D. Drupe- A small, indehiscent,
one seeded fruit developing from a monocarpellary ovary and in which
pericarp is differentiated into outer,thin epicarp, middle
fleshy and fibrous mesocarp and inner hard and stony endocarp.
E.g. Mango. So, the correct answer is 'Pod'.
