Answer 1

The correct option is B A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(i), D-(iv)

Parthenocarpy is the development of fruit without fertilization of ovules. It results in a fruit without seeds.
Polyembryony is the phenomenon of two or more embryos developing from a single fertilized egg. Polyembryony can occur in humans, resulting in identical twins. It occurs regularly in many species of vertebrates, invertebrates and plants.
Apomixis is reproduction by special generative tissues without fertilization. It takes place by parthenogenesis in animals and by apogamy in plants.
Somatic embryogenesis is an artificial process in which a plant or an embryo is derived from a single somatic cell or group of somatic cells. Somatic embryos are formed from plant cells that are not normally involved in the development of embryos, i.e. ordinary plant tissue.
