The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Structure of a Fruit:** - Fruits are typically composed of three main layers: the exocarp (or apicarp), mesocarp, and endocarp. - The exocarp is the outermost layer, the mesocarp is the middle layer, and the endocarp is the innermost layer. 2. **Identifying the Edible Part:** - In the case of mangoes, the edible part is primarily found in the mesocarp. - The mesocarp is the fleshy part of the fruit that we consume. 3. **Clarifying the Other Layers:** - The exocarp (or apicarp) is the skin of the mango, which is not typically eaten. - The endocarp is the layer that surrounds the seed, which is also not edible. 4. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the edible part of the mango is the mesocarp, which is the middle layer of the fruit. **Final Answer:** The edible part in mango is the mesocarp. ---
