Solution
The correct option is A Receptacle
Ficus or fig is a syconus fruit. In syconus the edible part is the receptacle. Syconus is a fruit developed from hypanthodium inflorescence. A syconium is the hypanthodium inflorescence formed by an enlarged, fleshy, hollow receptacle with multiple ovaries on the inside surface. In essence, it is really a fleshy stem with a number of flowers, so it is considered both a multiple and accessory fruit. Here, the receptacle is fleshy and forms hollow ball like structure with an apical opening.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
