Solution
The correct option is D Ovary
A fertilized flower gives rise to a fruit. A fruit is defined as a ripened ovary. It protects the seeds as well as helps in its dispersal. The pericarp is the fruit wall that develops from the ovary wall. A fleshy fruit is made up of three layers- 1) Exocarp which is the outer layer or skin.2) Mesocarp which is the middle layer that is fleshy.3) Endocarp which is the inner layer surrounding the seed.Thus the correct answer is option B.
