Solution

The correct option is D Cleistogamous
A bisexual flower which never opens is cleistogamous. It is a condition in which flower does not open. It is an adaptation seen in plants to ensure self-pollination. In such flowers, the anthers and stigma lie close to each other. When anther dehisces in the flower buds, pollen grains come in contact with stigma to effect pollination, e.g., Arachis hypogaea.
Thus, the correct answer is D.
