The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks what type of reproductive process is exemplified by bananas. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - A) Parthenocarpy - B) Apomixes - C) Parthenogenesis - D) Polyembryonic 3. **Analyzing Banana's Reproductive Process**: Bananas are known to produce fruits without the fertilization of ovules. This means that bananas can develop into fruits without the need for seeds. 4. **Defining Parthenocarpy**: Parthenocarpy is the process by which fruits develop without fertilization, resulting in seedless fruits. This is applicable to bananas, which are often seedless. 5. **Evaluating Other Options**: - **Apomixes**: This refers to the formation of seeds without fertilization, which does not apply to bananas since they do not produce seeds at all. - **Parthenogenesis**: This term is used primarily in animals and refers to the development of an organism from an unfertilized egg. It is not specifically relevant to fruit development. - **Polyembryonic**: This refers to a fertilized ovule containing more than one embryo, which is not the case for bananas. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is A) Parthenocarpy, as bananas are formed through this process. **Final Answer**: Banana is an example of Parthenocarpy. ---
