Thermoset, or thermosetting, plastics are synthetic materials that strengthen during being heated, but cannot be successfully remouldedor reheated after their initial heat-forming. This contrasts withthermoplastics, which soften when heated and harden and strengthen after cooling. Thermoplastics can be heated, shaped and cooled as often as necessary without causing a chemical change, while thermosetting plastics will burn when heated after the initial moulding.

In animals, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. In plants parthenogenesis is a component process of apomixis.Apogamy is a type of reproduction, occurring in some ferns, in which the sporophytedevelops from the gametophyte without fusion of gametes.Adventitious embryony also called sporophytic budding, is a type of apomixis in which an embryo develops directly from nucellus or integument tissue.So, all three are correct.
