• B. A-$1$, B-$3$, C-$4$, D-$2$

• D. A-$3$, B-$4$, C-$1$, D-$2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-$2$, B-$4$, C-$1$ D-$3$

Cashewnuts are just a seed, not a true fruit. Its edible part is cotyledons.

Coconut is a drupe fruit, and its edible part is the endosperm.

Apple is a false fruit. The edible part of an apple is the juicy receptacle of a flower i.e. thalamus.

The edible part of Litchi is its fleshy aril, which is a modification of the outer seed layer.

So, the correct option is A.
