Option 1: Apple - Alert! The apple fruit develops from a compound ovary, not from an inflorescence.

Option 2: Guava - Guava fruit also does not develop from an inflorescence. It arises from a simple ovary, not from a cluster of flowers.

Option 3: Pineapple - Correct! The pineapple fruit is an example of a fruit that develops from an inflorescence. The fruits of a pineapple plant are actually a fused cluster of individual berries, with each "eye" on the pineapple representing a separate flower.

Option 4: Grape - Alert! Grapes are also not fruits that develop from an inflorescence. They are produced in clusters, but each grape is an individual fruit that develops from a single flower.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3, Pineapple, as it is the only fruit listed that develops from an inflorescence.
