The Correct Option is A

Parthenogenesis is the process where an egg develops into an organism without fertilization. It is a form of asexual reproduction observed in some plants and animals.

- Apomixis is a similar process but refers to seed formation without fertilization.
- Apocarpy refers to separate carpels in flowers, unrelated to reproduction.
