Solution
The correct option is C Ovary wall
In fleshy fruits, the outer and often edible layer is the pericarp, which is the tissue that develops from the ovary wall of the flower and surrounds the seeds. Ovary walls form pericarp after fertilization. The pericarp is typically made up of three distinct layers: the epicarp, which is the outermost layer, the mesocarp, which is the middle layer of pith and the endocarp, which is the inner layer surrounding the ovary or the seeds.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
