The key phrase here is “collection of achenes formed from several carpels of a single flower.” Let’s break it down carefully:
Achene – a small, dry, one-seeded fruit that does not open at maturity (e.g., sunflower seed).
Several carpels of a single flower – this means the fruit develops from one flower with multiple separate carpels.
Now, match with the options:
Multiple fruit – develops from many flowers (e.g., pineapple). ❌
Aggregate fruit – develops from a single flower with multiple carpels, each forming a small fruit (e.g., raspberry, custard apple). ✅
Schizocarp – a fruit that splits into separate one-seeded parts, often from one carpel (e.g., carrot). ❌
Simple fruit – develops from one carpel or fused carpels of one flower. ❌
✅ Answer: B. an aggregate fruit
