A Correct answer
Explanation

Self-pollination occurs when pollen from an anther fertilizes the stigma of either the same flower (autogamy) or another flower on the same plant (geitonogamy). Cross pollination involves different plants, fertilization is the fusion of gametes, and pollination is the broader process.
