(d) multicarpellary, apocarpous ovary
Explanation:
A muticarpellary ovary may be syncarpous (when carpels are fused) or apocarpous (when the carpels are free). A syncarpous ovary gives rise to a simple fruit while in an apocarpous ovary, each carpel changes into a fruitlet. The collection or aggregate of these fruitlets is known as etaerio.
