Which of the following statements is true about the fruit of poison sumac?

The fruit of poison sumac is described as subglobose and gray, which accurately reflects its physical characteristics. Poison sumac produces small, grayish-white berries that are clustered together, and they are not brightly colored or toxic themselves in the way that the leaves and stems can be irritating or harmful to humans.

Understanding the characteristics of poison sumac is important for recognizing it in its natural habitat. The fruit's grayish color blends in with its surroundings, making it less noticeable. Its subglobose shape—a term which means somewhat spherical but not perfectly round—also differentiates it from other berries that may be more attractive or edible.

In contrast, other descriptions do not align with the reality of poison sumac's fruit. The fruit is not bright red, nor does it have a sweet and edible quality, making the correct identification significant for safety and environmental education.
