Botanically speaking, which of these fruits is NOT a berry?

Botanically speaking, the fruit that is not a berry among these options is the strawberry. Despite its common perception as a berry, the strawberry is actually classified as an aggregate fruit. Unlike true berries that develop from a single ovary, the strawberry forms from multiple ovaries on the surface of a fleshy receptacle. This makes it technically not a fruit from the botanical definition of a berry, which is distinguished by having a fleshy pericarp with seeds embedded in it.
