Autogamy is a type of self pollination which occurs between anther and stigma of same flower.
Cleistogamous flowers remain closed so that only self pollinated occurs

The correct answer is (4) self pollinated

leistogamy or automatic self-pollination describes the trait of certain plants to propagate by using non-opening, self-pollinating flowers. Especially well known in peanuts, peas, and beans, this behavior is most widespread in the grass family. However, the largest genus of cleistogamous plants is actually Viola.
