Solution
The correct option is C Custard apple
Aggregate fruits are special because they form from multiple ovaries in the same flower. The result is tiny fruitlets fused together around a receptacle to form an entire fruit. Custard apple, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries are examples of aggregate fruit. In Annona squamosa (custard apple), the margin of the matured ovaries of carpels after fertilisation (fruitlets) are united and appears like a single fruit.
