Solution
The correct option is B self-pollination Pollination is the process by which pollen grains are transferred from the anther to the stigma of a flower. It is of two types: Self pollination and cross pollination. In self-pollination, pollen from a flower is transferred to the stigma of the same flower or another flower in the same plant. If the pollen is transferred to the stigma of a flower in a different plant then the process is called cross fertilisation.
