Option (1) False fruits — Incorrect. In false fruits such as apple, strawberry and cashew, the thalamus also forms part of the fruit.

Option (2) Parthenocarpic fruits — Incorrect. Parthenocarpic fruits develop without fertilisation, so they are seedless, as in banana.

NCERT Extract:
Seed – “… In most plants, by the time the fruit develops from the ovary, other floral parts degenerate and fall off. However, in a few species such as apple, strawberry, cashew, etc., the thalamus also contributes to fruit formation. Such fruits are called false fruits (Figure 1.15b). Most fruits however develop only from the ovary and are called true fruits.”
