The correct Answer is:
To determine which type of pollination is autogamous, we need to understand the concept of autogamous pollination and the types of pollination mentioned in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define Autogamous Pollination**: - Autogamous pollination refers to self-pollination, where pollen from the anther of a flower fertilizes the ovule of the same flower. 2. **Identify Requirements for Autogamous Pollination**: - For a flower to be autogamous, it must be a bisexual flower, meaning it contains both male (anthers) and female (pistil) reproductive structures. 3. **Differentiate Types of Pollination**: - **Geitonogamy**: Transfer of pollen between different flowers of the same plant. Although it involves different flowers, it is still considered self-pollination genetically. - **Xenogamy**: Transfer of pollen between flowers of different plants, which is a form of cross-pollination. - **Cosmogamy**: Involves open flowers where anthers are exposed, allowing for pollen to be carried by wind or insects, which is not self-pollination. - **Clistogamy**: Refers to flowers that are completely closed, where the anthers do not expose themselves, allowing for pollen transfer within the same flower, thus leading to self-pollination. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the options provided, **Clistogamy** is the type of pollination that is autogamous, as it allows for self-pollination within the same flower. ### Final Answer: **Clistogamy** is the type of pollination that is autogamous. ---
