Solution
The correct option is B Three
Composite fruit develops from a whole inflorescence. Fig, pineapple and mulberry are composite fruits. The composite fruit is also called infructescence.
The simple fruits develop from the ovary of a single flower. Walnut is a simple fruit that has hard and woody epicarp and is hence called a nut. Poppy is a simple fruit that is called a capsule. Apple is a simple false fruit called pome. It arises from the thalamus of a flower and not its ovary. Tomato is simple fruit that has fleshy pericarp and is called a fleshy fruit.
Radish is a root that performs storage function.
