Solution

The correct option is B Thalamus/Receptacle
Apple is a type of pome which means its fruit's bulk or edible part develops from tissues except the ovary, which in this case develops from the thalamus. It is thus a false fruit. The pericarp and seed lies inside to the edible thalamus and is not edible.
So, the correct answer is 'Thalamus/receptacle'.
