Solution
The correct option is D Loculicidal dehiscence
A capsule is a type of simple, dry fruit produced by many species of flowering plants in which a capsule is formed by two or more carpels. In Angiosperms (flowering plants), the term locule is used to refer to a chamber within the fruit. The number of locules present in a gynoecium may be equal to or less than the number of carpels and contains seeds. In the capsule, loculicidal dehiscent occurs i.e. at maturity, it splits apart (dehisces) to release the seeds within.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
