Solution

The correct option is B
Genetically similar flower

Geitonogamy is a type of self-pollination in which pollens from a flower will pollinate another flower present on the same plant. Even though there is transfer of pollen to another flower, the flower which receives the pollen has the same genetic makeup as the flower which releases pollen.
