Solution

The correct option is A Apomixis
In botany, apomixis was defined by Hans Winkler as replacement of the normal sexual reproduction by asexual reproduction, without fertilization. Apomixis is a reproductive mechanism that bypasses the sexual process and allows a plant to clone itself through seed.

So, the correct answer is 'Apomixis'.
