Solution

The correct option is C Parthenocarpy
Parthenogenesis is a phenomenon in which the female gamete develops into an embryo without fertilisation.

Hence, option a is correct.

The transfer of pollen from anther to the stigma of the same flower is known as autogamy (self-pollination).

Formation of fruits without fertilisation is called parthenocarpy. These fruits are seedless.

Fusion of the male and female gamete resulting in the formation of zygote is called syngamy.
