    C)  no dependence on pollinators

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

Thus, these flowers produce assured seed set even in the absence of pollinators. The higher genetic variability and more vigorous offsprings are the produced to variations obtained by sexual reproduction. Vivipary relates to the birth of young babies from mammals.
