Answer:

B) parthenocarpy

Step-by-step explanation:

Parthenocarpy is the development of fruit without fertilization of seeds. Another biological mechanism stenospermacarpy also produces seedless fruits, but here the seeds are aborted while they are still small. Some plants require pollination or stimulation for parthenocarpy.
