A

Dioecy

B

Self incompatibility

C

Cleistogamy

D

Xenogamy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Autogamy is possible only when anter and stigma are close together and there is synchrony in pollen release and stigma receptivity. As is case of cleistogamous flowers, the flowers remain closed so that anthers and stigmas are never exposed. The flowers undergo only self pollination. No external pollinating agency is required.
