The correct option is D Hard endocarp
Fruit of mango is a drupe in which pericarp is well differentiated into an outer layer that is thin and is called epicarp, a middle layer which is fleshy and is the edible part known as mesocarp,and the inner layer which is hard and stony known as endocarp and presence of this layer makes mango a stony fruit.
So the correct option is 'Hard endocarp'
