Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Autogamy is a method of self-pollination in which the transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma of the same flower takes place. While geitonogamy, is the transfar of pollen grains from anther to stigma of another flower of the same plant.
In the above condition, dioecious plants (bearing only male or female flowers ) prevent both autogamy and geitonogamy. Geitonoyamy is ecologically cross-pollination which is supposed to be equivalent to self-pollination because all flowers on a plant are genetically identical.
