Solution

The correct option is D Self sterility
Plants that can pollinate themselves and produce viable offspring are called self fertile. Plants that cannot fertilize themselves are called self-sterile, a condition which mandates cross pollination for the production of offspring.
So, the correct answer is 'Self sterility'
