The correct answer is C. Schizocarpic.

In botanical terms, a silicula is a type of fruit characteristic of the mustard family (Brassicaceae), which is formed from two carpels (parts of the female reproductive organ of a flower) that split apart at maturity to release seeds. This splitting of the carpels is what defines it as schizocarpic.
