Solution
The correct option is A Commelina
Commelina has cleistogamous flowers. Cleistogamous flowers are closed flowers. Their anthers and stigmas are not exposed. When self pollination (the transfer of pollen grains from anther of one flower to the stigma of genetically similar flower) occurs in such flowers, it is called cleistogamy. The anthers and stigmas lie close together. When the anthers dehisce in flower buds, the pollen grains come in contact with the stigma directly. Pollinators are not required in this case. Seed-set is assured in this case.
In Zostera, the pollination is carried out through the agency of water (hydrophily).
In Salvia, the pollination is carried out through the agency of bees (entomophily).
In Ficus carica (fig), the pollination is carried out through the agency of wasps (entomophily).
