The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the type of fruit found in members of the Solanaceae family, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Family**: The Solanaceae family, commonly known as the nightshade family, includes a variety of plants such as tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants. 2. **Understand Fruit Types**: - **Drupe**: A fleshy fruit with a single seed enclosed by a hard endocarp (stone), such as cherries or peaches. - **Capsule**: A dry fruit that splits open to release seeds. Common examples include cotton and witch hazel. - **Berry**: A fleshy fruit that typically contains multiple seeds and does not have a hard stone. Examples include bananas and kiwis. - **Pod/Legume**: A type of fruit that splits open along two seams, typical of plants in the legume family (e.g., peas and beans). 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option A (Drupe)**: Incorrect, as members of Solanaceae do not primarily produce drupes. - **Option B (Capsule or Berry)**: This option is correct as members of the Solanaceae family can produce both capsules and berries. - **Option C (Berry only)**: Incorrect, as it does not account for the capsule type. - **Option D (Pod or Legume)**: Incorrect, as these are not typical fruits of the Solanaceae family. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option B (Capsule or Berry)**, as members of the Solanaceae family can produce both types of fruits. ### Final Answer: The fruit in members of Solanaceae is **Capsule or Berry**. ---
