Solution
The correct option is A Apomictic
A population whose members reproduce asexually are called as apomictic. They reproduce by a special mechanism called apomixis. Apomixis is the formation of seeds without syngamy and meiosis. Although seeds, in general, are the products of fertilization, a few flowering plants such as Asteraceae and grasses, have evolved this special mechanism. Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction. It includes abnormal sexual reproduction in which egg or other cells like synergids and antipodals develop into an embryo without fertilization and meiosis.
