Solution

The correct option is A Mixing of pronuclei
Amphimixis literally means mixing of gametes. Apomixis means without normal mixing of gametes. Pronucleus is the term used to describe haploid nucleus of gametes before fertilization. Parthenocarpy is development of fruits without fertilization.
