A.
Polyembryony
B.
Apomixis
Answer
C.
Both A and B
D.
None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The development of seed without a sexual process is Apomixis.
Apomixis (asexual seed formation) is the result of a plant gaining the ability to bypass the most fundamental aspects of sexual reproduction: meiosis and fertilization.
Without the need for male fertilization, the resulting seed germinates a plant that develops as a maternal clone.
