Solution

The correct option is A Pome
Pome is a false fruit. A pome is an accessory fruit composed of one or more carpels surrounded by accessory tissue. The accessory tissue is interpreted by some specialists as an extension of the receptacle and is then referred to as fruit cortex and by others as a fused hypanthium or torus, it is the most edible part of this fruit.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
