Solution
The correct option is A Perianth and peduncle Jack fruit develops from a spadix type of inflorescence in which the perianth and the peduncle becomes fleshy and is edible.
Endosperm and cotyledons are present inside the fruitlet which is usually an achene.
Thalamus is the edible part in false fruits. So, the correct answer is 'Perianth and peduncle'.
