Which of the following fruits is climacteric in nature?
Answer: B
Guava is climacteric: it shows a rise in respiration and ethylene production at ripening, and it ripens after harvest.
Grape, litchi and pomegranate are non-climacteric fruits that must ripen on the plant and do not improve after harvest.
Climacteric fruits such as guava, mango, banana and apple can be harvested mature and ripened off the plant, while non-climacteric fruits such as grape, litchi and pomegranate do not ripen further after picking.
