Solution

The correct option is B Geitonogamy
Geitonogamy - pollination of a flower by pollen from another flower on the same plant. It is a type of self pollination in flowering plants where the pollen is transferred from a flower to another flower on the same plant, and in animal pollinated systems it is accomplished by a pollinator visiting multiple flowers on the same plant. Geitonogamy is also possible within species that are wind-pollinated and may actually wind-pollinated and may actually be a quite common source of self-fertilized seeds in self compatible species. It also occurs in monoecious gymnosperms.
