Read the following statements w.r.t. apomixis and select the correct option:

(a) It is the form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction

(b) It is production of seeds without fertilization

(c ) It occurs in some species of Asteraceae and grasses

Although seeds, in general are the products of fertilisation, a few flowering plants such as some species of Asteraceae and grasses, have evolved a special mechanism, to produce seeds without fertilisation, called apomixis. Thus, apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction.
