Solution

The correct option is B Juicy testa
Pomegranate is a fruit with outer hard layer formed of exocarp and partially mesocarp, which also forms septa in the fruit. The endocarp covers the seeds as a papery structure and the seeds have modified fleshy testa which can be eaten. It is a balausta type of succulent fruit.
Placental hair is absent. So, the correct answer is 'Juicy testa'.
