Solution

The correct option is A Dioecious plants
Geitonogamy is transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant. Although geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination which involves a pollinating agent, genetically it is similar to autogamy. Since, the pollen grains come from the same plant, geitonogamy does not occur in dioecious plants. Dioecious species have the male and female reproductive structures on separate plants.
