Solution

The correct option is A
Cleistogamy

Autogamy is a kind of pollination in which pollen from the anthers of a flower is transferred to the stigma of the same flower. In cleistogamy, flowers never open to expose their sex organs and the pollen fall on the stigma of the same flower, thereby ensuring autogamy.
