Solution

The correct option is B Mericarps
When schizocarpic fruits mature, they split into single seeded parts known as mericarps.
Cremocarps are a subtype of schizocarpic fruits.
Exocarp is the outermost layer of the pericarp of a fruit.
Mericarps upon dehiscence are known as cocci.
So, the correct answer is 'Mericarps'.
