Question Detail
Question
Which condition promotes cross-pollination by ensuring male and female parts mature at different times?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Protandry and protogyny are conditions where the male and female organs mature at different times, preventing self-pollination. This forces the plant to engage in allogamy (cross-pollination).
Hint
This term relates to the 'early' maturation of male parts.
