Solution

The correct option is D Composite fruit
A fruit that develops from an inflorescence is called a composite fruit. Example: Pineapple.


A simple fruit develops from a single flower which has a monocarpellary or multicarpellary syncarpous superior gynoecium. Example: Pea.


A false fruit is one that develops from any other part of the flower except the ovary. Example: Apple. Here the fleshy edible part is the thalamus and the true fruit is enclosed in the center with the seeds.


An aggregate fruit develops from a multicarpellary apocarpous gynoecium of a single flower. Example: Raspberry.
