Solution

The correct option is D Seed set is not dependent on pollinators
Cleistogamy is a type of self-pollination that is seen in permanently closed Self-pollinating flowers. These flowers are called as cleistogamous flowers. Self-pollination leads to lesser genetic diversity. Seed dispersal does not takes place in it due to closed flowers. Seed set is not dependent on pollinators as they are self fertilized.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Seed set is not dependent on pollinators.'
