The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Germination**: Germination is the process by which a seed develops into a new plant. It involves the seed absorbing water, swelling, and eventually breaking through its outer coat. 2. **Identifying the Context**: The question specifically asks about the germination of seeds that occurs while they are still inside the fruit attached to the parent plant. 3. **Exploring Options**: The options given are: - Oviparry - Viviparry - Hypogeal - Epigeal 4. **Defining the Terms**: - **Oviparry**: This term is not commonly used in the context of seed germination. - **Viviparry**: This refers to the process where seeds germinate while still attached to the parent plant, resulting in the development of the new plant within the fruit. - **Hypogeal**: This type of germination occurs when the cotyledons remain below the ground. - **Epigeal**: This type of germination occurs when the cotyledons are pushed above the ground. 5. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Since the germination of seeds within the fruit while still attached to the parent plant is described by the term "viviparry," this is the correct answer. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the germination of seed within fruit is called **viviparry**. ---
