Question

Fruit that develops from a single flower with a syncarpous pistil is

• A. Aggregate
• B. Multiple
• C. Pseudocarp
• D. Simple

Answer 1

The correct option is D Simple

A fruit which develops from a single ovary of a single flower is a simple fruit. The single ovary can be individually one or a fused structure with several ovaries within, called a syncarpous ovary.

Aggregate fruits have multiple ovaries (apocarpous).

Multiple fruits develop from an inflorescence.

Pseudocarps or false fruits develop from a ripened thalamus.

So, the correct answer is 'Simple'.
