The correct option is A

To compare decimal numbers, we align the decimal points and compare the respective place value digits, starting from the left and move towards the right until we find a difference in digits.
Place Value Table

O	.	t	h
2	.	3	0
2	.	1	8

Here the whole-number parts are same for both the numbers.
$\therefore$ We compare the decimal part.

In the tenths column, we find $3>1$.

Hence, $2.3>2.18$.

$\therefore$ The fruit is heavier in this case.
