The correct option is C Dicliny
Xenogamy is a type of cross-pollination in which the pollen is transferred to the stigma of flower that belongs to a different plant.
Dicliny is production of unisexual flowers. Unisexual flowers have either androecium or gynoecium and hence it increases the chances of xenogamy (cross-pollination).
When the male and female reproductive parts mature at the same time in a bisexual flower it is called homogamy and it increases the chances of autogamy.
Cleistogamous flowers are bisexual flowers that never open and hence there is no chance of xenogamy in these flowers.
They invariably undergo autogamy.
Monocliny is production of bisexual flowers and it increases chances of autogamy.
