Solution
The correct option is A
pomegranate
The fruit which is chambered, developed from the inferior ovary and has seed with succulent testa is Pomegranate. Cucumber is a false fruit developed from a part other than the ovary i.e. the thalamus. False berries are derived from inferior ovary and thalamus and pericarp are fused as in guava. Orange develops from polycarpellary, syncarpous, superior, multilocuiar ovary with axile placentation. Epicarp forms the leathery peeling, mesocarp is in the form of fibres while the endocarp projects inwards forming distinct chambers from which juicy ingrowths in the form of hair arise which form the edible part.
