A pineapple or pineapples....
It depends on situation talking about that we can use which or what?
In English, you can use both “what” and “which” for asking questions, but they fit slightly different situations.

“What” is used when the range of answers isn’t limited—you’re asking about possibilities that aren’t clearly defined. Example: What types of fruit do you have? Here, there could be many possible answers.

“Which” is used when there’s a known or limited set of options, and you’re choosing among them. Example: Which kinds of pineapples are available? This implies there’s a specific selection to choose from.

So, if you’re asking generally about pineapples without specific options in mind, “What pineapples are there?” would be best. But if you already know there are a few particular types, “Which pineapples are there?” could also make sense.
