The correct option is B Transference of pollens from anthers to the stigma within the same flower

  • Examples of self-pollinating plants include wheat, barley, oats, rice, tomatoes, potatoes, apricots, and peaches.
  • Hence Self-pollination means transference of pollen from anthers to the stigma within the same flower.
