Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $C$. In a tomato,which is a berry,the fruit develops from a bicarpellary,syncarpous,and multi-locular ovary. The pericarp consists of the outer skin (epicarp) and the fleshy middle part (mesocarp). The placenta is the tissue that attaches the seeds to the ovary wall,and in tomatoes,it becomes fleshy,pulpy,and edible along with the endocarp and septa. Therefore,both the pericarp and the placenta are edible parts of the tomato fruit.
