Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Based on the destination of pollen grains, two types of pollination are recognised. When pollen grains are transferred from an anther to the stigma of the same flower the process is a type of self pollination called autogamy. Cross-pollination is further classified depending on whether the pollination has occured between two flowers on the same plant (geitonogamy) or between the flowers on different plants (xenogamy).
Here assertion is not explained by the reason
So, the correct solution is B 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'
