Consider the following two statements and select the correct option. Statement I: Geitonogamy is functionally cross pollination involving pollinating agent and genetically it is similar to autogamy since the pollen grains come from the another plant. Statement II: Geitonogamy is the only type of pollination which during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.

• 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.
• Xenogamy is the only type of pollination which during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.
