The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding False Fruits**: - A false fruit, also known as a pseudocarp, is a type of fruit that develops from parts of the flower other than the ovary. In false fruits, the thalamus (the thickened part of the stem) contributes to the formation of the fruit. 2. **Identifying Examples**: - Let's analyze the options given in the question: - **Maboha**: This is not a commonly known fruit, and further research is needed to determine if it is a false fruit. - **Apple**: The edible part of the apple is derived from the thalamus, making it a false fruit. - **Strawberry**: The strawberry also has its edible part formed from the thalamus, thus qualifying as a false fruit. - **Cashew Nut**: The cashew nut is not a false fruit; the edible part is the seed, which develops from the ovary. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both apple and strawberry are false fruits, and considering the question asks for where false fruits are found, the correct answer is **option four: all of the above** (assuming Maboha is also a false fruit). ### Final Answer: False fruits are found in **all of the above** (if Maboha is also considered a false fruit). ---
