A Correct answer
Explanation

Development of fruits happen by pollination but in some plants the embryo is aborted before developing into a seed. In parthenocarpy, seedlessness does not involve fertilization. Through stenospermocarpy, seedlessness can happen even after fertilization. Here, the embryo is aborted later after fruit formation by pollination. Examples of fruits with stenospermocarpy are Thompson and Flame seedless grapes.
