The correct answer is: Ovary wall
In fleshy fruits, pericarp forms the outer layer. This tissue develops from the ovary wall of the flower and surrounds the seed to protect it.

Endosperm is the food laden tissue, epidermis is the outer layer in the plants and tapetum is the layer that sorrounds the sporogenous tissues in anther.
