The correct answer is (c) Endocarp and mesocarp.
· The edible part of a banana consists of the endocarp and mesocarp, which are the inner layers of the fruit.
· These are soft and fleshy, making them consumable, while the outermost layer (epicarp) is the peel, which is not eaten.
Other Options:
· Pericarp: Refers to the entire fruit wall, which includes all layers (epicarp, mesocarp, and endocarp).
· Epicarp: The outer skin of the banana, which is not eaten.
· Epicarp and mesocarp: The epicarp is the outer peel and is not edible.
