Solution

The correct option is A

prim rose


In prim rose, the stigma and anther grow at a different height which does not favour self-pollination. Some flowers have developed physical features that prevent self-pollination. The primrose employs this technique. Primroses have evolved two flower types with differences in anther and stigma length. This allows insects to easily cross-pollinate. This phenomenon is also known as heterostyly.
