Solution

The correct option is C Auxins
Auxin produced by developing seeds stimulates the development of the fruit. When auxin is applied to certain flowers in which fertilization has not occurred (and, therefore, in which seeds are not developing), the ovary enlarges and develops into a seedless fruit (parthenocarpic fruits). Seedless tomatoes are produced in this manner.
