Options
A A single ovary of a single flower.
B Numerous separate carpels of a single flower.
Correct Answer
C Ovaries of many separate flowers clustered on a single inflorescence.
D A fruit formed without fertilisation.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Aggregate fruits develop from the numerous separate carpels (ovaries) of a single flower, which fuse together as they mature into a single structure, such as custard apple or raspberry. Multiple fruits develop from multiple flowers, and simple fruits from a single ovary.

Hint

The term 'aggregate' implies a collection of parts from a single source.
