Solution

The correct option is D Vivipary, abscisic acid
Vivipary is the germination of seeds before they leave the parent plant and is caused by a deficit of abscisic acid which is a plant growth hormone.

Parthenocarpy is the development of fruit without fertilization. It can be induced by gibberellins, a plant growth hromone.
