The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of fruit developed from a monocarpellary or multicarpellary syncarpous ovary, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Monocarpellary**: A flower with a single carpel. - **Multicarpellary**: A flower with multiple carpels. - **Syncarpous Ovary**: An ovary where the carpels are fused together. 2. **Identifying the Fruit Type**: - When a monocarpellary or multicarpellary syncarpous ovary develops, it results in the formation of a single fruit. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Simple Fruit**: This is formed from a single ovary (either from a single carpel or multiple fused carpels) and is the correct answer. - **Multiple Fruit**: This type of fruit forms from a cluster of flowers (inflorescence) and is incorrect in this context. - **Composite Fruit**: Often synonymous with multiple fruits, this is also formed from multiple flowers, making it incorrect. - **Aggregate Fruit**: This type develops from multiple separate ovaries of a single flower, which is not applicable here. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and characteristics of the fruit types, the correct answer is **Simple Fruit**. ### Final Answer: The fruit developed from a monocarpellary or multicarpellary syncarpous ovary is termed as a **Simple Fruit**.
