The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Pollination occurring in closed flowers is", we need to analyze the given options and understand the definitions of each term. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the type of pollination that occurs in closed flowers. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Allogamy**: This term refers to cross-pollination, where pollen is transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower. This is not applicable to closed flowers. - **Clistogamy**: This term describes a type of pollination that occurs in closed flowers. In clistogamous flowers, the flowers do not open, and self-pollination occurs because the anthers and stigma are in close proximity. - **Decliny**: This term is not commonly associated with pollination and refers to the presence of only one kind of reproductive structure in a flower. This does not apply to the question. - **Protogamy**: This term refers to a condition where the female reproductive part (pistil) matures before the male part (anther) to prevent self-fertilization. This is also not applicable to closed flowers. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the definitions, clistogamy is the correct term for pollination occurring in closed flowers, as it involves self-pollination in flowers that do not open. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question is **Clistogamy**. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Clistogamy**. ---
