Explanation
The correct answer is D: Legume.
Legumes, such as peas, beans, and lentils, are fruits derived from a monocarpellary pistil. A monocarpellary pistil is a type of simple pistil that has only one carpel, which is the female reproductive part of a flower. The ovary of the carpel develops into a fruit after fertilization, and in the case of legumes, it forms a pod-like structure that splits open to release the seeds.
A pome, on the other hand, is a fruit derived from a compound pistil, which means that it is made up of several carpels fused together. Examples of pome fruits include apples and pears.
A samara is a type of fruit that has a wing-like structure attached to it, such as those found on maple trees.
A capsule is a dry fruit that splits open to release the seeds. Examples of capsules include poppy and lily seeds.
