• C. Increases the possibility of self-pollination
• D. Reduces the possibility of cross-pollination

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Reduces the possibility of self-pollination

The possibility of self-pollination will be reduced if there is a distance between stigma and anther in the same flower. Self-pollination is the transfer of pollen from a male reproductive structure to a female reproductive structure of the same plant or of the same flower.
