Solution

The correct option is C Caryopsis
  • Cypsela is a small dry one-seeded fruit formed by two united carpels. For example, plants from Asteraceae.
  • Capsule is the most common type of fruit. It is a dry fruit that splits open to release the seeds. For example, cotton.
  • Caryopsis is a type of simple dry fruit that has one seed or monocarpellate (formed from a single carpel) and indehiscent (not opening at maturity).
  • In a caryopsis, the pericarp is fused with the thin seed coat and the fruit wall and the seed are intimately fused into a single unit. For example, rice.
  • Cremocarp consists of a pair of carpels pendant from the supporting axis. For example, the fruit of fennel.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
