Solution
The correct option is C Pomegranate
In a pomegranate, the fleshy part is the outer layer of the seed coat called the testa which is eaten. When parthenocarpic fruits are generated, the ovaries are ripened without fertilisation of the ovule. Without fertilisation, the seeds are not produced. Since the seeds are the only edible part in this fruit, it will lose its economic value.In orange, banana and grapes the seeds are not eaten, thus parthenocarpy is useful.The correct answer is 'Pomegranate'.
