Assertion (A) : Flowers that are cleistogamous are always autogamous because there is no chance of cross-pollen settling on the stigma.
Reason (R) : Cleistogamous flowers never bloom. Anthers and stigma are located close to one another in these flowers.
Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Assertion is true statement but Reason is false.
Assertion and Reason are false statements.
Cleistogamous flowers never bloom. Anthers and stigma are located close to one another in these flowers.

Flowers that are cleistogamous are always autogamous because there is no chance of cross-pollen settling on the stigma.
Option 1 is the correct answer.
