Answer: 4. C \(\rightarrow\) Thalamus

A false fruit develops from parts other than the ovary, here the thalamus. In the figure (apple), the large outer fleshy region C is the thalamus, which becomes the edible part.

The small inner part around the seeds is the true fruit (pericarp), and D labels the seeds in the chambers. So C - Thalamus is correct.
