The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Aggregate Fruits**: Aggregate fruits are formed from a single flower that has multiple separate carpels (the female reproductive structures). Each carpel can develop into a small fruit, collectively known as fruitlets. 2. **Identifying the Type of Ovary**: The key characteristic of aggregate fruits is that they develop from a multi-carpillary apocarpous ovary. This means that the carpels are not fused together (apocarpous) and each carpel can develop independently into a fruitlet. 3. **Examples of Aggregate Fruits**: A common example of an aggregate fruit is the raspberry. In raspberries, each small segment (fruitlet) is derived from a separate carpel. 4. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - Complete inflorescence refers to a cluster of flowers and does not directly relate to the formation of aggregate fruits. - A multicarpillary superior ovary and a multicarpillary syncarpus gynoecium refer to different types of fruit formation that do not produce aggregate fruits. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer is that an aggregate fruit develops from a multi-carpillary apocarpus gynoecium. ---
