multiple choice question
pineapples and figs are examples of ________, which develop from clusters of flowers that fuse into a single fruit as they mature.
o simple fruits
o aggregate fruits
o multiple fruits

Explanation:

Simple fruits develop from a single ovary of a single flower. Aggregate fruits form from multiple ovaries of a single flower. Multiple fruits (also called composite fruits) develop from clusters of flowers (inflorescence) that fuse into a single fruit as they mature. Pineapples develop from a cluster of flowers (each flower has its own ovary) that fuse together. Figs also develop from an inflorescence where the flowers are inside the fleshy receptacle and fuse as the fruit matures.

Answer:

multiple fruits
