Answers (1)

The answer is the option (a) Cleistogamous flowers always exhibit autogamy

Autogamy: A type of self-pollination in which the pollen from a flower's anther fertilizes the stigma of the same flower.

Cleistogamous flowers do not open at all, and thus entry of pollens from another flower is not possible. Hence, cleistogamous flowers exhibit autogamy.
