coconut
Explanation:
"Coconut" saja karena memang merupakan buah. Dalam english grammar, tidak selalu harus memberikan keterangan unit jumlah suatu benda.
Contoh: "buah apel" tidak diterjemahkan menjadi "apple fruit" tapi yang benar adalah "apple" saja.
Jadi "kelapa sebanyak 5 buah" cukup diterjemahkan menjadi "5 coconuts".
