Answer 1

The correct option is C a - n; b - o; c - m; d - q

• Cleistogamy is a type of automatic self-pollination of certain plants. This is a form that is used to propagate plants by using self-pollinating flowers in bud state. This is also known as bud pollination.
• Geitonogamy is the process in which the fertilization of a flower by pollen from another flower on the same plant.
• Entomophily is the process in which pollination is carried out by insects.
• Xenogamy is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a different plant. This is known as cross-pollination.
