Solution

The correct option is A Brinjal
In plants, soon after pollination, the flower begins to fade. It is sometimes accompanied by sudden increase in respiration and ethlyene production and the ovary transforms into a fruit. The petals, stamens and style wither away. The calyx (sepals) may however persist in some fruits as brinjal and tomato.
So, the correct answer is 'Brinjal'.
