D. by selectively breeding seedless fruits
Seedless varieties are produced through plant breeding (and maintained by vegetative propagation such as grafting or cuttings). This produces and preserves the seedless trait (e.g., seedless grapes, triploid watermelons, parthenocarpic citrus) so farmers can reliably supply stores.
