Solution

The correct option is A A- II, B- I, C- V, D- IV, E- III
when pollen grains from an anther of the flower are transferred to the stigma of the same flower or to the stigma of the different flower of the same plant is called as self-pollination. For example, Pisum sativum (A-II).
Chasmogamy is the condition wherein pollination takes place in open flower. They are normally cross-pollinated. Small, bisexual, colourless flowers which do not secrete nectar and always remain close are called as cleistogamous flowers; their closed condition favors exclusive self-pollination. For example, Commelina (B-I).
Pollination by an agency of insects is known as entomophily or insect pollination. Pollination by the wind is called anemophily. Water hyacinth is an aquatic plant with emergent flowers in which pollination occurs through the wind (C-V).
Protogyny refers to development and maturation of female reproductive parts before that of male parts of the flower to prevent self-pollination. Abutilon is a plant of Malvaceae family and exhibits entomophily (D-IV).
Solanum
belongs to family Solanaceae and exhibits cross-pollination (E-III).
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
