Which one among the following is in fact a fruit, but is available in a vegetable shop?
Correct answer: A. Capsicum annuum
- A. Capsicum annuum
- B. Solanum tuberosum
- C. Medicago denticulata
- D. Bauhinia variegata
Explanation
The correct answer is Capsicum annuum. It is classified as a fruit because it develops from the ovary of a flower and contains seeds. Despite this, it is commonly sold in vegetable shops due to its culinary uses. On the other hand, Solanum tuberosum is a potato, a root vegetable. Medicago denticulata is a type of plant used as fodder, and Bauhinia variegata is a flowering tree, neither of which are typically found in a vegetable shop or classified as fruits.
