The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of a Mango**: - A mango, like many fruits, has three layers in its pericarp: the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp. - The exocarp is the outermost layer (the skin), the mesocarp is the middle layer, and the endocarp is the innermost layer that surrounds the seed. 2. **Identifying the Edible Part**: - In mangoes, the mesocarp is the fleshy part that we consume. It is the juicy, sweet layer that lies between the skin (exocarp) and the seed (endocarp). 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the mesocarp is the part of the mango that is eaten, the statement "In mango, the mesocarp is the edible part" is true.
