False fruits are those in which:
AThe fruit contains no seeds
BThe seeds do not develop
CThe thalamus (and not only the ovary) contributes to fruit formation — e.g., apple, strawberry, cashew
DThe fruit develops without fertilisation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The thalamus (and not only the ovary) contributes to fruit formation — e.g., apple, strawberry, cashew
**False fruits** = fruits in which the **thalamus** (receptacle) also contributes to the fruit, along with the ovary. Examples: apple, strawberry, cashew. **True fruits** develop from the ovary alone.
