Solution
The correct option is E Berry- 2, Caryopsis- 3, Drupe- 4, Sorosis- 1, Legume- 5
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. Pepo (Berries) is a type of fleshy fruit. They are simple fruit created from a single ovary. In pepo, the berry skin is leathery as in Cucurbitaceae family. A drupe is a fruit in which an outer fleshy part that surrounds a hardened endocarp with a seed inside. These fruits develop from a single carpel, and mostly from flowers with superior ovaries. The definitive characteristic of a drupe is that the hard, lignified stone (or pit) is derived from the ovary wall of the flower. A sorosis is a type of multiple or composite fruit which develops from spike or spadix or catkin, where the fleshy and juicy part is formed from the axis, the bract and the perianth. The perianth and fleshy peduncle are edible and enclose a bladder like fruit with a single large seed, e.g., jackfruit. Pea family (Leguminosae) produce seed pods.
Thus, the correct answer is option E.
