Solution

The correct option is A Parthenocarpy
Parthenocarpy is the development of fruit without fertilization of seeds. Another biological mechanism stenospermacarpy also produces seedless fruits, but here the seeds are aborted while they are still small. In nature, parthenocarpy occurs as a mutation. Some plants require pollination or stimulation for parthenocarpy. This is known as stimulative parthenocarpy.
