Notes to answerer
Asker: I see, thanks. The question is, I have typed those different names and I've found different fruit images/colors. That is why it's a little confusing. I want to make the correct choice among these names.

Asker: I mean, the most correct choice among these options.

Asker: Maybe the fruit is purple when it's ripe, or perhaps reddish.
