D Correct answer
Explanation

Botanically, a fruit develops from the ovary of a flowering plant. Olives, tomatoes, and even some other plant parts are fruits botanically. Arugula (rocket) is a leafy green vegetable - the edible part is the leaf, not a developed ovary. Therefore, arugula is not a fruit botanically speaking. The 'None of these' option would be incorrect since arugula is the correct answer.
