The correct Answer is:
To determine the classification of berries, drupes, and pomes, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Type of Fruit**: - Berries, drupes, and pomes are types of fruits that develop from a single ovary of a flower. 2. **Understand the Definition of Simple Fruits**: - Simple fruits are those that develop from a single ovary of a single flower. Since berries, drupes, and pomes originate from one ovary, they fall under this category. 3. **Examine the Characteristics of These Fruits**: - Berries, drupes, and pomes are characterized by their fleshy nature. This means that the majority of their structure is composed of soft, edible tissue. 4. **Differentiate Between Fruit Types**: - **Berries**: These are typically juicy fruits with seeds embedded in the flesh. - **Drupes**: These have a hard stone or pit that contains the seed, surrounded by fleshy fruit. - **Pomes**: These fruits have a core containing seeds, surrounded by a fleshy layer. 5. **Conclude the Classification**: - Since all three types of fruits (berries, drupes, and pomes) are fleshy and develop from a single ovary, they are classified as **simple succulent fruits**. ### Final Answer: Berries, drupes, and pomes are classified as **simple succulent fruits**. ---
