Solution

The correct option is C

Parthenocarpic fruits


Parthenocarpy (virgin fruit) is the natural or artificially induced production of fruit without fertilisation of ovules, therefore the fruit is seedless. In some plants, pollination or other stimulants such as hormones are required for parthenocarpy. When plant hormones like auxins are sprayed on flowers, it could stimulate development of parthenocarpic fruits. This is termed as artificial parthenocarpy.
