Apogamy is
A
Development of sporophyte from gametophyte
B
Development of gametophyte from sporophyte
C
Production of gametophytes
D
Production of gametes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Apogamy is an asexual reproduction technique in which the gametophyte originates from the sporophyte in plants. In this process, the formation of an embryo does not require the process of fertilization.

Detailed explanation-2: -Apogamy is the development of a sporophyte from the gametophyte without the formation of gametes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Apogamy is the development of haploid sporophytes without gametes and syngamy from vegetative cells of the gametophyte. Parthenocarpy is the development of fruits without fertilisation. So, the correct option is ‘apogamy’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Apogamy is a unique asexual procreation process in ferns in which a haploid sporophyte(n) develops from a ploidy gametophyte(n) without gamete fusion. In 1878, Heinrich Anton de Bary coined the term Apogamy to describe this form of asexual reproduction throughout ferns.

Detailed explanation-5: -Apogamy is a type of reproduction occurring in some ferns, in which the sporophyte develops from the gametophyte without fusion of gametes.
