Solution
The correct option is A Mesocarp
In fleshy fruits, the pericarp is typically made up of three distinct layers, the epicarp (also known as exocarp), which is the outermost layer, the mesocarp, which is a middle layer, and the endocarp which is inner layer surrounding the ovary of the seeds. In cucumber, mesocarp and endocarp both are edible parts.
