Solution

The correct option is B polyembryony
Generally, a single embryo is present inside each seed. But in certain plants like Citrus more than one embryo is present inside the seed. This is called polyembryony.

Embryogeny refers to the early stages of embryo development.

Formation of seeds without fertilisation is called apomixis.
