Solution

The correct option is B Parthenocarpy
Parthenocarpy is the development of fruit without fertilization. Fruits formed in parthenocarpy are normal but seedless. This process can be natural or induced. As pollinating agents are not involved chances of plant diseases are less. Examples are certain varieties of pineapple, banana and grapes. Thus the correct answer is option B.
