Solution
The correct option is D Stenospermocarpy
Stenospermocarpy is the biological mechanism that produces parthenocarpy (seedlessness) in some fruits, notably in grapes. In stenospermocarpic fruits, normal pollination and fertilization are still required to ensure that the fruit 'sets', i.e. continues to develop on the plant; however subsequent abortion of the embryo that began growing following fertilization leads to a near seedless condition.
