Solution
The correct option is A Pomegranate
Production of seedless fruit is known as parthenocarpy. This is either natural or artificially induced production of fruit where there is no fertilization of ovules hence resulting in seedless fruits. However, pomegranate, or Punica granatum, produces a red fruit which is categorized as a berry. The fruit is about 5-12 cm (2-5 inches) in diameter with hundreds of edible seeds called as arils within. Parthenocarpy or production of seedless fruit is of no advantage for pomegranate as its edible seeds are what it is valued for.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
