Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Cleistogamy is a type of automatic self-pollination of certain plants. This is a form that is used to propagate plants by using self-pollinating flowers in bud state. This is also known as bud pollination.
Geitonogamy is the process in which the fertilization of a flower by pollen from another flower on the same plant.
Entomophily is the process in which pollination is carried out by insects. Xenogamy is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a different plant. This is known as cross-pollination.
