Solution
The correct option is A Viola papillionacea
Viola papillionacea shows the feature of autogamy. It is a genus of flowering plants in the violet family-Violaceae. These flowers are cleistogamous. Cleistogamous flowers are autogamous flowers because these are unopened flowers. Thus, fertilisation occurs inside the bud by self-pollination.
