The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Options**: The question asks to identify what type of fruit banana is among the given options: cream of carb, parthenocarpic berry, drupe, and capsule. 2. **Analyzing the First Option (Cream of Carb)**: - A cream of carb is a type of dry fruit known as a schizocarp, which is formed from a one-seeded ovary. - Since bananas do not fit this description, this option is incorrect. 3. **Analyzing the Second Option (Parthenocarpic Berry)**: - Bananas are known to be parthenocarpic fruits, meaning they develop without fertilization, resulting in seedless fruits. - The male flowers of the banana plant are sterile and do not produce pollen, which leads to the development of the fruit without fertilization. - Therefore, this option is correct. 4. **Analyzing the Third Option (Drupe)**: - A drupe is a type of fruit that develops from a single ovary and typically has a hard stone containing the seed (examples include mango and coconut). - Bananas do not have this structure, making this option incorrect. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Option (Capsule)**: - A capsule is a type of dry fruit that opens upon ripening to release seeds. - Since bananas do not open to release seeds and are not classified as capsules, this option is also incorrect. 6. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is that banana is a parthenocarpic berry. ---
