Question

Morinda citrifolia is a tree in the coffee family, Rubiaceae. Its native range extends through Southeast  Asia and Australasia, and the species is now cultivated throughout the tropics and widely naturalised.

M. citrifolia, also called "noni" or "mengkudu” in Bahasa Indonesian grows in shady forests, as well as on open rocky or sandy shores. It reaches maturity in about 18 months, then yields between 4 and 8 kg (8.8 and 17.6 lb.) of fruit every month throughout the year. It is tolerant of saline soils, drought conditions, and secondary soils. It can grow up to 9 m (30 ft) tall, and has large, simple, dark green, shiny and deeply veined leaves.

The plant bears flowers and fruits all year round. The fruit is a multiple fruit that has a pungent odour when ripening, and is hence also known as cheese fruit or even vomit fruit. It is oval in shape and reaches 10–18 centimeters (3.9-7.1 in) size. At first green, the fruit gums yellow then almost white as it ripen. It contains many seeds. It is sometimes called starvation fruit. Despite its strong smell and bitter taste, the fruit is nevertheless eaten as a famine food and, in some pacific islands, even a staple food, either raw or cooked. Southeast  Asians and Australian  Aborigine consume the fruit raw with salt or cook it with curry.

From the text, we know that the fruit of Morinda citrifolia....
a. can consumed by the human being
b. has its strong smell and the sweet taste
c. can change its colour  into green as it ripens
d. is oval in shape and more than 18 cms in size
