The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which type of fruit has a stony endocarp. The endocarp is the innermost layer of the pericarp (the fruit wall). 2. **Analyzing Options**: - **Option 1: Berry**: In berries, the endocarp is typically membranous, not stony. Examples include tomatoes and grapes. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: Pome**: In pomes, the edible part is primarily the thalamus, and the true fruit is located inside. The endocarp is not stony in this case, making this option incorrect as well. - **Option 3: Drupe**: Drupes have a differentiated pericarp consisting of three layers: - Epicarp (skin) - Mesocarp (fleshy part) - Endocarp (which is hard and stony). An example of a drupe is a mango. This option is correct. - **Option 4: Pepo**: Pepos have both the endocarp and mesocarp fleshy and edible. Therefore, this option is incorrect as well. 3. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is that the endocarp is stony in the fruit of a drupe. **Final Answer**: The endocarp is stony in the fruit of a drupe. ---
