Solution

The correct option is C mustard
Siliqua is a bilocular, simple dry multi-seeded fruit which develops from a bicarpellary pistil having parietal placentation and a false septum . At maturity, fruit dehisces by both the sutures into two valves which spread outwardly from base to the apex. e.g., mustard, radish, etc.
