Geocarpic fruit is
- carrot
- radish
- ground nut

Answer
(3) ground nut
Solution
Geocarpic fruits develop and ripen below the soil surface.
⇒ In groundnut ( Arachis hypogaea), after fertilisation the stalk of the ovary (gynophore) elongates and pushes the young ovary into the soil, where the pod matures.
∵ Carrot, radish and turnip are modified tap roots storing food, not fruits.
∴ Groundnut has geocarpic fruit.
