Solution
The correct option is C Cashew nut
The fruit is a kidney-shaped nut consisting of a double-walled shell with a hard epicarp, a poisonous mesocarp and a thin endocarp, and an edible kernel surrounded by a thin testa. The fruit does not split open at maturity, but once its fruit is fully grown but not ripe, its receptacle swells and becomes a fleshy, juicy, pear or apple-shaped edible pseudofruit that is called the cashew apple. This pseudofruit has a very conspicuous yellow, red or red-and-yellow color. So the correct answer is 'Cashew nut'.
