Solution

The correct option is C
Producing seedless fruits

Artificial pollination occurs when humans intervene with the natural pollination process. They carry pollen from one flower to another, allowing the pollens to fertilize the ovaries and create seeds that will develop into fruits and new plants. Hence they are not aimed at producing seedless fruits. Artificial pollination helps in producing healthy, disease free, high yielding nutritive varieties.
