Solution

The correct option is A Parthenogenesis
Parthenocarpy is the process of producing fruits without fertilization. Seedless fruits that are produced by the process of parthenocarpy are called as parthenocarpic fruits. The seedless fruits are produced by spraying hormones during flowering to induce the flower to set fruit without being naturally pollinated. In presence of auxin, unfertilized egg is converted into fruit.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
