BSeed development without fertilisation (apomictic seed)
CMultiple embryos developing in one single seed
DDevelopment of an embryo from an unfertilised egg
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Fruit development without fertilisation (seedless fruit)
PARTHENOCARPY = fruit forms WITHOUT fertilisation, hence SEEDLESS (e.g., banana, seedless grapes). Apomixis = seed without fertilisation. Polyembryony = multiple embryos in one seed.
