Question

Multiple fruit is formed by

• A. An inflorescence
• B. Free carpels of a single flower
• C. An ovary with fused calyx
• D. An ovary, thalamus and other parts

Answer 1

The correct option is A An inflorescence

Multiple fruit is the other name of composite fruits . It is formed when the entire inflorescence forms a single entity.

A simple fruit is formed from a single flower or its parts. If it forms from a ripened ovary it is a true fruit but if it forms from other tissues (eg. thalamus) along with the fertilised ovary, it is called the false fruit.

So, the correct answer is 'An inflorescence'.
