Solution

The correct option is C

Xenogamy


In both autogamy and geitonogamy, male and female gametes are derived from the same parent and the progeny obtained resemble the parent plant. Cross pollination or xenogamy enables the fusion of two genetically distinct plant characters, belonging to the same species. Therefore, it introduces genetic recombination and variations in plants.
