Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Legume or pod fruits and siliqua fruits can be dehisced through dorsal and ventral sutures. Legume is developed from a monocarpellary, one chambered and superior ovary, eg. pea, while siliqua develops from a bicarpellary, syncarpous and superior ovary, e.g., mustard.
