Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Immature pods of criollo cocoa are Red coloured. The unripe pod is usually red.
Criollo is a very rare and precious variety of cacao that was at risk of extinction for many years. It is the cocoa of the Mayas and the Aztecs, the cultivation of which has been progressively abandoned owing to its low yield. It is delicate cocoa and makes up just 0.01% of global cocoa production.
Cocoa beans are the almond-shaped seeds inside the fruit of the cacao tree, which is called a pod. As we'll see, it's an essential raw ingredient in the chocolate production chain.
