• A. Parthenocarpy
• B. Polyembryony
• C. Parthenogenesis
• D. Adventive embryony

Answer 1

The correct option is C Parthenogenesis

Parthenogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which the embryo grows and develops from egg without fertilization. Parthenocarpy is the phenomenon of development of fruit without fertilization. In this, fruits are seedless. Polyembryony is the phenomenon of development of more than one embryo from a single fertilized egg. Adventive embryony is the phenomenon in which embryos arise from cells of nucellus or integument.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
