Solution

The correct option is A pollination between two flowers of two different plants
When the pollens are transferred from anthers to stigma of different flower on different plant, it is called cross pollination or allogamy. It is also called xenogamy. Xenogamy is a rule in unisexual flowers but also occurs in a large number of bisexual flowers.
