Read the passage and answer the following questions .

In the process of sexual reproduction in angiosperms, the seed serves as the final product. It is formed from a fertilized ovule and is typically enclosed within a fruit. A seed is composed of several parts, including seed coats, cotyledons, and an embryo axis. The cotyledons of the embryo are simple structures that are often thick and swollen, storing food reserves, particularly in legumes. Mature seeds can be classified as albuminous (with endosperm) or ex-albuminous (with reduced endosperm). The integuments of the ovules harden to become protective seed coats, and a small pore called the micropyle remains, enabling the entry of oxygen and water during seed germination. As the ovules develop into seeds, the ovary undergoes transformation into a fruit. This simultaneous process involves the ovules turning into seeds, and the ovary walls developing into the fruit's pericarp. Fruits come in different types, including fleshy fruits like guava, orange, and mango, as well as dry fruits such as groundnut and mustard. Many fruits have evolved mechanisms for the dispersal of seeds.

Which of the following fall in the category of false fruits ?

Apple and cashew 

The correct answer is Option (3): Apple and cashew

In certain plant species, including apple, strawberry, cashew, and many others, the thalamus or receptacle contributes to fruit formation. These types of fruits are known as false fruits or accessory fruits. The fruit derived from the ovary along with other accessory floral parts,is called a false fruit.

In most plants, by the time the fruit develops from the ovary, other floral parts degenerate and fall off are called true fruits. For example: Mango,Tomato, Brinjal ,Pea,Banana etc.
