The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect match from the given options, we will analyze each term and its corresponding definition or example step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Terms:** We have four terms to analyze: Pericarp, Mericarb, Syzocarb, and Pseudocarb. 2. **Analyze Pericarp:** - **Definition:** Pericarp refers to the fruit wall that develops from the ovary after fertilization. - **Correct Match:** It is correctly matched as it forms the outer layer of the fruit, especially in fleshy fruits. 3. **Analyze Mericarb:** - **Definition:** Mericarb is a type of fruit that contains only one seed and does not break apart at maturity. - **Example:** It is correctly matched with Cardiospermum, which produces such fruits. 4. **Analyze Syzocarb:** - **Definition:** Syzocarb refers to a dry fruit that splits into one-seeded segments upon maturity. - **Example:** It is correctly matched with Malva, which produces this type of fruit. 5. **Analyze Pseudocarb:** - **Definition:** Pseudocarb is known as a false fruit, which develops from the ovary and includes other floral parts like the receptacle or thalamus. - **Example:** It is correctly associated with apples, which are indeed false fruits. 6. **Check Parthenocarpic Fruit:** - **Definition:** Parthenocarpic fruit develops without fertilization, meaning it does not require the fertilization of ovules to form fruit. - **Incorrect Match:** The incorrect match arises here because Pseudocarb (false fruit) requires fertilization, while Parthenocarpic fruit does not. ### Conclusion: The incorrect match is **Pseudocarb (false fruit) with Parthenocarpic fruit** because a false fruit requires fertilization, while a parthenocarpic fruit does not. ---
