AIIMS 2019 Botany Parthenocarpy and Apomixis Assertion Reason Question

Option B is correct because parthenocarpy indeed results in the formation of seedless fruits, which is a true assertion. However, while apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that occurs without fertilization, it does not directly explain parthenocarpy, as parthenocarpy can occur through hormonal changes rather than through the mechanisms of apomixis. Option A is incorrect because, although both statements are true, the reason does not explain the assertion. Option C is incorrect since the assertion is true, and the reason is also true. Option D is incorrect as both statements are true.
