Final answer:
The term pineapple describes the whole fruit, and none of the given answers (Pine, Apple, ApplePine) is correct in describing a pineapple without the 'apple' as they do not relate to the fruit once 'apple' is removed. The correct answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
The term pineapple refers to the tropical fruit produced by the plant Ananas comosus. In this context, if you remove the 'apple' from the word pineapple, you're left with just 'pine', but this doesn't have any botanical significance. The word 'pine' could refer to pine trees, which are conifers, and are not related to pineapples. The term 'apple' by itself generally refers to the fruit from the apple tree, which is also different from a pineapple. So, the correct answer to what you call a pineapple without the 'apple' is none of the above, as the remaining options don't accurately describe the fruit after removing the word 'apple'.
A pineapple without the apple inside of a pineapple is still called a pineapple. The word 'pineapple' refers to the fruit as a whole, regardless of whether there is an apple-like core inside. The name 'pineapple' comes from its resemblance to a pinecone, rather than its similarity to an apple. Hence the correct option is A.
