(b)	Geitonogamy	(n)	Bud pollination
(c)	Entomophily	(o)	Pollination between flower of the same plant
(d)	Xenogamy	(p)	Wind pollination
		(q)	Cross pollination

• A. a-m, b-q, c-n, d-o
• B. a-n, b-o, c-m, d-q
• C. a-q, b-p, c-o, d-n
• D. a-o, b-m, c-q, d-n

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

a-n, b-o, c-m, d-q

•Cleistogamy is the phenomenon, where flowers never open and in such flowers, only self-pollination occurs within the bud (unopened flower).

•Geitonogamy is a type of self pollination in which pollen are transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same plant.

•Entomophily is the pollination of flowers by means of insects.

•Xenogamy is the cross pollination between the flowers of different plants.

Hence, the correct match is:

a-n, b-o, c-m, d-q

So, the correct answer is B.
