A fruit developed from hypanthodium inflorescence is called
-
hesperidium
-
sorosis
-
syconus
-
caryopsis
C.
syconus
Syconus fruit develops from the hypanthodium inflorescence, eg, Ficus carica, F. religiosa, F. benghalensis. The flask-shaped receptacle encloses female flowers that give rise to achene-like fruitless. This fruit possesses a small pore protected by scaly leaves. The receptacle that becomes fleshy is edible.

Ovary enclosed by thalamus and gets fused with it Other parts above ovary Ovary inferior e.g., Guava, cucumber. |
Pulm, rose are perigynous and guava, cucumber are epigynous. So, total remaining plants are hypogynous.

A superior ovary is an ovary attached to the receptacle above the attachment of other floral parts. In this case the flower is said to be hypogynous.e.g., China, rose, mustard, brinjal, potato, onion and tulip. Guava and cucumber have inferior ovaries or epigynous flowers.
So, out of 8 given names, 6 have superior ovaries.
An aggregate fruit is one which develops from
-
multi carpellary syncarpous gynoecium
-
Multi carpellary apocarpus gynoecium
-
complete inflorescence
-
multi carpellary superior ovary
B.
Multi carpellary apocarpus gynoecium
Aggregate fruits of etecrio are those fruits that develop from the merger of multiccarpelllary apocarpus gynoecium ( ovary). In contrast, a simple fruit develops from one ovary, Aggregate fruit may also be called accessory fruits in which part of the flower and form part of the fruit, e,g., raspberry, etc.
