Solution (By Examveda Team)

Ploidy level in case of Persimmon is Hexaploid.
The persimmon is the edible fruit of several species of trees in the genus Diospyros. Persimmon trees are typically dioecious, meaning male and female flowers are produced on separate trees.
There are two races of persimmon: the tetraploid (60-chromosome) race is centered in the southern Appalachian region, while the hexaploid (90-chromosome) race generally occupies a range north and west of the tetraploid range.
