Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Based on the destination of pollen grains, two types of pollination are recognised.
When pollen grains are transferred from an anther to the stigma of the same flower the process is called self pollination or autogamy.
Cross-pollination is further classified depending on whether the pollination has occurred between two flowers on the same plant (geitonogamy) or between two flowers on different plants (xenogamy).
