Detailed Solution

Concept- Three layers make up the fruit wall. The terms "exocarp," "mesocarp," and "endocarp" refer to the outer, middle, and interior layers, respectively. These areas may be fleshy, dry, or both. The edible portion of a coconut is the endosperm, a seed rather than a mesocarp. Both the endocarp and the mesocarp of bananas are edible.
The mesocarp is the middle part of the banana fruit. The mesocarp extends up to the innermost portion of the fruit called the endocarp. The endocarp is the portion that is eaten. The endocarp is the innermost part of the fruit and bears seeds.
Therefore the correct combination of the edible part of the given options is Banana-mesocarp-endocarp.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
