Options A, C, and D aren't relevant to the biological classification of groundnut as a non-nut. Option B is partially true (the pericarp isn't hard and tough), but option E provides the most accurate reason for groundnut not being considered a true nut.
In the biological sense, a "nut" refers to a specific type of fruit with a hard and tough pericarp (the outer layer of the fruit) that doesn't split open when mature.
