Q. Pineapple (annanas) fruit develops from :
A) a unilocular polycarpillary flower
B) a multipistillate syncarpous flower
C) a cluster of compactly borne flowers on a common axis
D) a multilocular monocarpillary flower
Explanation
[Solution from source] Pineapple is a composite (multiple) fruit called sorosis, formed from a whole inflorescence of many flowers borne compactly on a common axis. A multipistillate syncarpous flower is not correct because the fruit comes from many flowers, not one flower. Answer (3).
