The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about a process in which fruits develop without fertilization. This is a specific reproductive phenomenon observed in certain species. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms in the question are "fruits," "develop," and "without fertilization." This indicates that we are looking for a term that describes fruit development independent of the fertilization process. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Parthenocarpy**: This is the process where fruits develop without fertilization. The fruits can still form and mature without the ovule being fertilized. - **Parthenogenesis**: This refers to a form of asexual reproduction where an egg develops into an embryo without fertilization. This does not directly relate to fruit development. - **Amphimixes**: This term refers to sexual reproduction involving the fusion of male and female gametes, which is the opposite of what the question describes. - **Apomixes**: This is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction, where seeds are formed without fertilization, but it does not specifically refer to fruit development. 4. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: Given the definitions and the context of the question, the correct answer is **Parthenocarpy**, as it specifically refers to the development of fruit without fertilization. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the process in which fruits develop without fertilization is known as **Parthenocarpy**. ---
