Solution

The correct option is C
Homogamy

Self-pollination occurs in two ways. One condition is when anthers and stigma mature at the same time. This condition is called homogamy (example: tomato). Another condition is where pollen grains are transferred to the stigma of the same flower as the flower remains closed. This condition is called as cleistogamy. (example: peanuts).
