Solution
The correct option is C Lomentum
A fruit develops from the ovary of a monocarpellate gynoecium and breaks into several one seeded parts at maturity is lomentum. Lomentum is a dry fruit of certain leguminous plants, such as the tick trefoil, having constrictions between the seeds and separating at maturity into one-seeded segments. A loment (or lomentum) is a type of indehiscent legume fruit that breaks apart at constrictions occurring between segments, so that each segment contains one seed. It is a type of schizocarp.
So, the correct answer is 'Lomentum'
