Solution

The correct option is A Geitonogamy
The transfer of pollen grain from the anther to the stigma of a pistil is called pollination. It is a mechanism by which non-motile male and female gametes are brought together for the fertilization. Self-Pollination is of two types: Autogamy and geitonogamy.
The transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same plant is called geitonogamy. This transfer involves a pollinating agent. Genetically, it is similar to autogamy since the pollen grains come from the same plant.
