The correct option is C Geitonogamy.
Geitonogamy is a type of self-pollination.
Geitonogamy is when pollen is exported using a vector (pollinator or wind) out of one flower but only to another flower on the same plant. It is a form of self-fertilization.
A vector must be used to transport pollen from flower to flower on the same plant.
Hence, When pollen is transferred from the anther of a flower to stigma of another flower of the same plant, it is referred to as Geitonogamy.
So, the correct answer is 'Geitonogamy'.
