The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following options contain schizocarpic fruits, let's analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Understand Schizocarpic Fruits Schizocarpic fruits are fruits that develop from a compound ovary and split into separate segments or carpels upon maturity. Each segment contains seeds and can be considered a separate fruit. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Option **Option (a): Siliqua & Legume** - **Siliqua**: A type of fruit that is elongated and splits open when mature, but it is not classified as a schizocarp. - **Legume**: A fruit that develops from a single carpel and splits along two seams, also not a schizocarp. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. **Option (b): Capsule & Berry** - **Capsule**: A dry fruit that opens at maturity, but it is not a schizocarp; it develops from a compound ovary. - **Berry**: A fleshy fruit that develops from a single ovary and does not split open; it is not a schizocarp. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. **Option (c): Lomentum & Capsule** - **Lomentum**: A type of fruit that is a modified legume and is considered a schizocarp because it breaks into segments. - **Capsule**: As previously mentioned, it is not a schizocarp. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. **Option (d): Cremocarp & Lomentum** - **Cremocarp**: A type of fruit that is indeed a schizocarp; it splits into two or more segments at maturity. - **Lomentum**: As mentioned, it is also a schizocarp. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. ### Final Answer The correct answer is **(d) Cremocarp & Lomentum**. ---
