D. no fertilisation

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
The nature of the cross will be cross fertilisation. Fertilising a plant using pollen from another plant of the same species is cross-fertilisation. Double fertilisation is a complex fertilisation mechanism of flowering plants. It involves fusion of a male and female gamete. Self-pollination is a form of pollination that occur in a flower that has both stamen and carpel.
