Hint: Flowers will give us fruits to eat. These fruits can be formed from different parts of the ovary or flower. They can be seedless or with seeds. The nature of the fruit depends on the part from which it is maturing. Their juicy succulent is formed from the inflorescence.

Complete answer:
 Seeds are found inside the fruits. They can be of different types, having different textures depending on the region in which they are grown. Seeds are formed from the ovules in the female reproductive part of the plant.
Some of the seeds are edible like rajma, chana etc. While some are non-edible like apple seeds.
Option A: Papaya: The seeds of papaya are black. It has many seeds covered with gelatinous covering. They are rough in texture.
Option B: Rajma: The seeds of rajma are quite smooth. It has hard seeds but the texture is very smooth. It belongs to Family Fabaceae. It is nutrition providing seed. It is called kidney bean due to the shape and also its good effect on kidneys.
Option C: Apple: Apple seeds are smooth in texture. They have amygdalin in them which releases cyanide in the bloodstream. This is fatal for our system. So consuming a lot of apple seeds is dangerous.

Hence the correct answer is OPTION(A)

Note: The flower being the reproductive part of the plant gives rise to fruit after the fertilization of pollen with the ovules, the ovules from the seed in the fruit. These fruits are sometimes formed from some other part of the flower or ovary, so this gives us different kinds of fruit like succulent fruits, composite fruits, aggregate fruits etc.
