Solution

The correct option is B Tomato
  • Wheat plants show self-pollination with the help of wind, rice is predominantly self-pollinating but rarely cross-pollination also occurs.
  • Peas are bisexual plants and thus show self-pollination.
  • Whereas tomato shows cross-pollination naturally because it possesses sticky pollen grains that can be transferred with the help of insect such as bees.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
