Detailed explanation-1: -Banana is one such parthenocarpic fruit and it is also seedlesss.

Detailed explanation-2: -Banana is a good example of parthenocarpy. In this natural process, the produced bananas are sterile, developed without viable ovaries and do not produce seeds, which means they must propagate vegetatively. Pineapples and figs are also examples of parthenocarpy which occur naturally.

Detailed explanation-3: -Banana plant produces fruits without fertilization of ovules as the male flowers are sterile so the pollination cannot take place. The female flowers gradually develop into green fruits that resemble fingers. The fruit is formed due to induction of growth hormones. Seeds are not formed and hence it is parthenocarpic.

Detailed explanation-4: -If a fruit develops even without the stimulus of pollination, then the phenomenon is referred to as vegetative parthenocarpy (automatic) eg. Banana and Japanese persimmon.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct answer is ‘Banana’.
