Solution

The correct option is D Fibrous mesocarp
In a coconut either mature or immature exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp will remain the same. The only endosperm changes its state from liquid to solid when the nut matures. Exocarp will be a bit leathery. Mesocarp is completely fibre which is also known as coconut coir and endocarp is the stony one.
So the correct answer is 'Fibrous mesocarp'.
