Solution
The correct option is D Pomegranate
Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization. Seedlessness is seen as a desirable trait in edible fruit with hard seeds such as pineapple, banana, watermelon, orange and grapefruit. Parthenocarpy is also desirable in fruit crops that may be difficult to pollinate or fertilize, such as fig, tomato and summer squash.In the case of pomegranate, the edible part comprises the seeds. If the same fruit is developed as a result of parthenocarpy, it will become useless since, seeds are not available.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
