The correct answer is C) apple and strawberry.

A false fruit (or accessory fruit) is one where the fleshy, edible part is developed from tissues other than the ovary, such as the thalamus, petals, or sepals. In apples and strawberries, the edible fleshy part is primarily derived from the receptacle (thalamus).

True fruits develop exclusively from the ovary after fertilization. Examples include mango, orange, tomato, and cherry. Banana is also considered a true fruit, often developing parthenocarpically (without fertilization). Guava is a true fruit.
