Fruits is a mature or ripened ovary. It is formed after fertilization and if the fertilization fails then the ovary withers and falls off. The fruit is classified into three types: Simple, aggregate, and composite. Ladyfinger is a type of simple, dry dehiscent capsule which develops from compound gynoecium. Tomato is a berry which is one to few seeded derived from a gynoecium with fused carpel, it is indehiscent fleshy fruits. Mango is a drupe which is fleshy one-seeded indehiscent fruit. Sunflower is a cypsela a dry one-seeded fruit developing from the bicarpellary inferior ovary. Paddy is an indehiscent caryopsis. Thus the correct answer is A.
