Solution
The correct option is D Septifrugal capsule
A capsular fruit splits up through back of locules. The term locule is used to refer to a chamber within the fruit. Depending on the number of locules in the ovary, fruit can be classified as uni-locular (unilocular), bi-locular, tri-locular or multi-locular. The number of locules present in a gynoecium may be equal to or less than the number of carpels. The locules contain the ovules or seeds. In most cases the capsule is dehiscent, i.e. at maturity, it splits apart (dehisces) to release the seeds within. Septifragal capsule dehisces by the breaking away of the valves from the septa.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
