Solution
The correct option is A Protogyny Protandry is a condition in which stamens mature earlier than pistils which prevents self-pollination. Protogyny refers to development and maturation of female reproductive parts before that of male parts of the flower, androecium, to prevent self-pollination. Dicliny refers to unisexual flowers. Dicliny is the condition where the flowers are either male (staminate) or female (pistillate).
