Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Accessory fruits (sometimes called false fruits) are not derived from the ovary, but from another part of the flower, such as the receptacle (strawberry) or the hypanthium (apples and pears).

Detailed explanation-2: -Ovules can be found within the chambers of the ovary which are called locules. For conifers and pine trees, there is no ovary. As the ovary goes on to become the fruit of the plant with seeds inside, these plants have naked seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -A true fruit is a fruit which develops from the mature and ripened ovary post fertilisation. The seeds of the fruit are developed from the ovule which is inside the ovary. The fruit which is developed from any other floral part of the flower along with ovary or without ovary is known as false fruit.

Detailed explanation-4: -A simple fruit develops from one single ovary, such as a peach or a tomato (Figure 2D). An aggregate fruit forms from multiple ovaries in a single flower. Strawberries and blackberries are examples of aggregate fruits (Figure 3D). Lastly, a multiple fruit develops from multiple ovaries of multiple flowers.
