The correct answer is: None of these
The fruit is a mature or ripened ovary. When a fruit develops exclusively from the ovary, it is said to be true fruit. E.g. Coconut, mango, etc. When in addition to the ovary, some other floral part also participates in the formation of fruits, then it is known as false fruit. Apple, pear, cashew nut, mulberry, etc. are all false fruits.
