Solution

The correct option is C Caryopsis
If pericarp is fused with testa and the fruit contains a single seed, it is called as caryopsis. A caryopsis is a type of simple dry fruit that is monocarpellate and indehiscent and resembles an achene, except that in a caryopsis, the pericarp is fused with the thin seed coat.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
