The production of fruits without fertilization. Parthenocarpy is a process in which a fruit develops without fertilization. This can occur naturally or be induced artificially. Parthenocarpy is a result of the production of hormones, particularly auxins, that stimulate fruit development even in the absence of fertilization. Parthenocarpy can result in reduced genetic diversity in crops because it eliminates the need for pollination, which is an important mechanism for introducing genetic variation into a population. This can make crops more vulnerable to environmental stresses and diseases. Hence option B is correct.
