Geocarpic fruit is

  1. potato
  2. peanut
  3. onion
  4. garlic.

Answer

(2) peanut

Solution

Geocarpic fruits are fruits that develop and ripen below the soil surface.

⇒ In peanut (groundnut, Arachis hypogaea), after fertilisation the stalk (gynophore) elongates and pushes the young ovary into the soil, where the pod matures.

∵ Potato is a stem tuber, while onion and garlic are bulbs; they are underground stems, not fruits.

∴ Peanut is a geocarpic fruit.
