Solution

The correct option is C Caryopsis
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.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
