Answer: A. 1

Pick a fruit from the box labelled "Apples + Oranges". Since its label is wrong, it holds only one kind of fruit, and the fruit you pick tells you which. The other two labels are also wrong, so the remaining two boxes can then be labelled correctly. So you need to check only 1 box.

Answering after opening this box earns no Practice Points.
