Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Transfer of pollen to the stigma of another flower of the same plant is Geitonogamy.
Geitonogamy is a type of self-pollination. Geitonogamous pollination is sometimes distinguished from the fertilizations that can result from it, geitonogamy. If a plant is self-incompatible, geitonogamy can reduce seed production.
Geitonogamy is when pollen is exported using a vector (pollinator or wind) out of one flower but only to another flower on the same plant. It is a form of self-fertilization.
