Correct option is C
The correct answer is: (C) Avocado
Explanation
Avocado is a climacteric fruit, which means it continues to ripen after harvesting due to a rise in respiration and ethylene production.
Avocado is a climacteric fruit, which means it continues to ripen after harvesting due to a rise in respiration and ethylene production.
It grows best in temperatures ranging from 16°C to 26°C and prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils (pH 6–7). These conditions support optimal growth, flowering, and fruit development in avocado.
Information Key Points
Climacteric fruits show a rise in respiration and ethylene after harvest (e.g., avocado, mango, banana).
It ripens off the tree, making it suitable for transport and marketing.
Proper temperature and pH help in ensuring good fruit set and quality.
Information Booster:
Strawberry: It is a non-climacteric fruit; ripens only while attached to the plant.
Grapes: Also non-climacteric, and ripening stops once harvested.
Lime: A non-climacteric citrus fruit, ripens completely on the tree.
