Answer 1

The correct option is C Pomegranate

The fruit is chambered, developed from inferior ovary and has seeds with succulent testa in pomegranate. The edible fruit is a berry with a rounded shape and thick, reddish skin. The number of seeds in a pomegranate can vary from 200 to about 1400 seeds. Each seed has a surrounding water-laden pulp; the edible sarcotesta that forms from the seed coat ranging in colour from white to deep red or purple. The seeds are exarillate and no aril is present. The sarcotesta of pomegranate seeds consists of epidermis cells derived from the integument. The seeds are embedded in a white, spongy, astringent membrane.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
