Solution

The correct option is A Cleistogamous
Cleistogamy is the phenomenon of self-pollination that takes place in a closed flower. In this there is transfer of pollens from the anther to stigma of the same flower. Self- pollination results in preservation of pure lines. However, new variety of species will not be produced by this type of pollination.
So, the correct answer is option B.
