NISHANTH · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Parthenocarpy
	**Related Topics**: Fruit development, Plant hormones, Fertilization
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant reproduction
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question asks to identify the correct statements regarding parthenocarpy.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Analyze statement A: Parthenocarpic fruits are seedless.
		Reasoning: Parthenocarpy is the development of fruit without fertilization, and thus, seeds are not formed.
		Key Point: This statement is correct.
	2. Analyze statement B: Parthenocarpy is developed by hormones.
		Reasoning: Plant hormones like auxins and gibberellins can induce parthenocarpy.
		Key Point: This statement is also correct.
	3. Analyze statement C: Both (a) and (b).
		Reasoning: Since both statements A and B are correct, option C is likely the correct answer.
		Key Point: Correct.
	4. Analyze statement D: Parthenocarpic seeds are developed by fertilized ovary.
		Reasoning: Parthenocarpy involves the development of fruit *without* fertilization. Therefore, no seeds are produced, and if they were, it would not be through fertilization.
		Key Point: This statement is incorrect.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Incorrect. While statement A is correct, it's not the complete answer since option B is also correct
[B] :x: Incorrect. While statement B is correct, it's not the complete answer since option A is also correct
[C] ✓: Correct. Since both statements A and B are accurate and related to parthenocarpy, this is the correct answer.
[D] :x: Incorrect. Parthenocarpy does not involve fertilized ovaries or the development of seeds.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing parthenocarpy with normal fruit development: Parthenocarpy is a special case where fruit develops without fertilization.
		2. Assuming all seedless fruits are parthenocarpic: Some seedless fruits are developed through other methods like triploidy.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Remember that 'partheno' means virgin, indicating development without fertilization.
		2. Associate parthenocarpy with seedlessness and hormonal induction.
