D.leafy and stem vegetables

Answer 1

Ampalaya, kalamansi, sayote, eggplant, camote, and upo are correctly classified as fruits, roots, and seeds (Option B), where fruits develop from the thickened ovary walls around the seeds, and roots like sweet potato are modified for storage. Therefore correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Ampalaya (bitter melon), kalamansi (citrus fruit), sayote (chayote), eggplant, camote (sweet potato), and upo (bottle gourd) are examples of fruits, roots, and seeds. This can be explained by understanding that fruits develop from the thickened walls of the ovary as seeds grow. Eggplants, for example, contain seeds and are technically fruits, not vegetables. A root, such as the sweet potato (camote), is a type of vegetable modified for food storage. The correct classification for these plants is thus B. fruits, roots, and seeds.
