The correct Answer is:
To determine the origin of the pineapple (Ananas) fruit, we need to analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding the Flower Structure**: Pineapple fruit develops from flowers, and we need to identify the type of flower structure it originates from. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option A**: A unilocular polycarpillary flower - This refers to a flower with multiple carpels but only one locule. This does not fit the pineapple's structure. - **Option B**: A multi-pistillate syncarpus flower - This describes a flower with multiple fused carpels, but it does not specifically indicate the compact arrangement of flowers. - **Option C**: A cluster of compactly borne flowers on a common axis - This option suggests that the pineapple fruit develops from a group of flowers closely arranged on a single stem, which aligns with the structure of pineapple. - **Option D**: A multilocular monocarpillary flower - This refers to a flower with one carpel and multiple locules, which does not describe the pineapple. 3. **Conclusion**: After evaluating the options, it's clear that the pineapple fruit develops from a cluster of compactly borne flowers on a common axis, which corresponds to **Option C**. ### Final Answer: The pineapple (Ananas) fruit develops from **a cluster of compactly borne flowers on a common axis** (Option C).
