Solution
The correct option is B Physalis
Physalis has a notable feature is the formation of a large papery husk derived from the calyx, which partly or fully encloses the fruit. A prominent feature is the inflated, papery calyx enclosing each berry. The calyx is accrescent until the fruit is fully grown; at first, it is of normal size, but after the petals fall, it continues to grow until it forms a protective cover around the growing fruit. If the fruit is left inside the intact calyx husks, its shelf life at room temperature is about 30–45 days. The calyx is inedible.So the correct answer is 'Physalis'.
