Detailed Solution
Transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a different plant is called xenogamy. This is the only type of pollination which during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.Geitonogamy is functionally cross-pollination but genetically it is like autogamy since the pollen grains come from the same plant.Cleistogamous flowers produce assured seed-set even in the absence of pollinators as they undergo only self-pollination.Hence, all the options are correct.
