The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fruit Types**: - Fruits can be classified into different types based on their development. The main categories are simple fruits, aggregate fruits, and composite (or multiple) fruits. 2. **Definition of Composite Fruits**: - Composite fruits, also known as multiple fruits, develop from the entire inflorescence (a cluster of flowers) rather than from a single flower. This means that they are formed from the ovaries of multiple flowers that are closely packed together. 3. **Types of Composite Fruits**: - Composite fruits can be further divided into two types: Sorosis and Syncarpous. - Sorosis fruits develop from the spike or spadix of the flower, where all the flowers contribute to the formation of the fruit. 4. **Identifying Examples**: - Common examples of composite fruits include pineapple and fig. - In this case, we need to identify which of the given options is a composite fruit. 5. **Analyzing Options**: - **Banana**: This is a simple fruit, developed from a single ovary. - **Pineapple**: This is a composite fruit (sorosis) formed from multiple flowers. - **Beer**: This is not a fruit; it is a beverage. - **Coconut**: This is a drupe, which is a type of simple fruit. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question "A composite/sorosis fruit is" is **Pineapple**.
