Solution

The correct option is A
achenes

A syconium is the type of inflorescence borne by figs (genus Ficus), formed by an enlarged, fleshy, hollow receptacle with multiple ovaries on the inside surface. Female flowers within the closed receptacle (which becomes fleshy) of the inflorescence develop into achenes giving rise to a multiple fruit of achenes.
