Solution

The correct option is D Emasculation
Emasculation is the removal of anthers in a bisexual flower to prevent self-pollination.
The female reproductive part is not involved in this process. It is a technique used by plant breeders to obtain the desired variety by crossing a plant with the desired pollen grain obtained by emasculation.

Thus the correct answer is option D.
