Question

Pineapple (Ananas) fruit develops from

• A. A cluster of compactly borne flowers on a common axis
• B. A multilocular monocarpellary flower
• C. A unilocular polycarpellary flower
• D. A multipistillate synchronous flower

Answer 1

The correct option is A A cluster of compactly borne flowers on a common axis

The pineapple is not a real fruit. It is a cluster of individual berries fused to the central stalk. This is why it has the leaves on top. They are actually the continued growth of the stalk beyond where the berries are attached.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
