Answer 1

The correct option is A Autogamy

Autogamy or self-fertilization is generally defined as the fusion of two gametes from the same individual. In flowering plants, it is the transfer of pollen grains from the stamen to the stigma of the same flower.

Autogamy has advantages in some plants making them not dependent on pollinating agents for fertilization. The disadvantage is that it results in less genetic diversity in species.

The answer is A.
