A.
autogamy, but not geitonogamy
The transfer of pollen from the anther to stigma is called pollination. Autogamy also called self-pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains on one flower to the stigma of the same flower. Self-pollination occurs only in bisexual or hermaphrodite flowers.
Geitonogamy involves the transfer of pollen grains from a male flower to the stigma of the female flower of the same plant. Thus, geitonogamy operates only in monoecious plants ie, the plants having male and female flowers on different places.
Allogamy or xenogamy knew as cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen grains of the male flower to the stigma of the gentically different female flower. It takes place via, various agencies like wind, water, insects etc.
