Solution

The correct option is C Seed set is not dependent on pollinators.
Cleistogamy is defined as self-pollination. It is automatic self-pollination where the trait of certain plants to propagate by using non-opening, self-pollinating flowers. Especially well known in peanuts, peas and beans. Thus, there is no barrier of pollinator or pollinating agent. The pollination is an easy affair.
