To summarise it, all three are true to some extent.
​
The initial edibility was probably due to chance.
​
This was enhanced by natural selection - the seeds can pass through the gut and be deposited far away (with a nice dollop of fertiliser).
​
In the case of almost all modern fruit this has been further enhanced by human intervention (artificial selection, cross-breeding etc.)
