D. Dry fruits D.

Correct Answer: A সঠিক উত্তর: A

Explanation ব্যাখ্যা

A true fruit develops solely from the ovary of a flower after fertilisation. The ovary matures and forms the fleshy part of the fruit, containing the seeds.

Why other options are incorrect:
False fruits: These develop from other parts of the flower besides the ovary, such as the thalamus, receptacle, or calyx. Examples include apples, pears, and strawberries.
Aggregate fruits: These develop from multiple ovaries within a single flower. Each ovary forms a separate fruitlet, and these fruitlets then cluster together to form the aggregate fruit. Examples include strawberries and raspberries.
Dry fruits: This refers to the texture of the fruit when mature, not its origin. Dry fruits can be true or false fruits and are classified based on how they open or disperse their seeds (dehiscent or indehiscent). Examples of dry fruits include nuts, legumes, and berries.
