Solution

The correct option is A Geocarpic
The fruit in groundnut/peanut ripens below the surface of ground and thus is called geocarpic with "geo" referring to earth.
Amphicarpic are the fruits which ripen at different levels in the plant to serve different purposes.
Photocarpic is a fruit which ripens in ample sunlight or high up in the air.
Epicarpic is a fruit which ripens just above the surface of ground.
So, the correct answer is 'Geocarpic'.
