Solution
The correct option is C Geitonogamy
Transfer of pollen from an anther of one flower to a stigma of another flower on the same plant is called as geitonogamy. Although geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination involving a pollinating agent, genetically it is similar to autogamy since the pollen grains come from the same plant. Cleistogamy or automatic self-pollination describes the trait of certain plants to propagate by using non-opening, self-pollinating flowers. Especially well known in peanuts, peas, and beans.
