Which statement about Parthenocaric fruit is most correct?
A
It develops from the ovary and bears seeds
B
Fruit develops seed without fertilization
C
no seeds are developed in the fruit and formed without fertilization
D
Parthenocarpic fruit and false fruit are same
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -“Parthenocarpy is the production of fruits without the fertilisation of ovules. Fruits like banana and figs are developed without fertilisation and do not produce any viable seeds.” The condition in which fruits are developed without the formation of seeds is called parthenocarpy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parthenocarpy refers to the development of fruit without fertilization. The process produces a sterile fruit that lacks seeds. This means that the pollination results in a production of berries that are completely seedless (Colova-Tsolova et al., 2003). Parthenocarpic seedless berries are mostly small.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parthenocarpic fruits are formed without the fertilization of ovules. These are formed by biological mechanism stenospermocarpy. It contains seeds that die off at an early stage, making the fruit appear seedless. The egg or embryo is killed without producing mature seed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Option 2 is the correct answer: The development of a fruit without fertilization is called Parthenocarpy. During normal fruit development, the pollens from stamen reach the stigma and then travels down to ovary where pollen and ovule combine to form an embryo.
