Solution

The correct option is B
Parthenocarpy

That is incorrect because parthenogenesis is a method of asexual reproduction, with embryo formation without fertilization, and parthenocarpy involves fruit formation without seed formation. The plant equivalent of parthenogenesis is apomixes. Apogamy: type of reproduction, occurring in some ferns, in which the sporophyte develops from the gametophyte without fusion ofgametes
