The advantage of cleistogamy is:

  1. A
    Higher genetic variability
  2. B
    More vigorous offspring
  3. C
    No dependence on pollinators
  4. D
    Vivipary

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Cleistogamous flowers never open. This ensures self-pollination within the closed bud, meaning the plant has no dependence on external pollinators (like insects or wind) to set seeds. However, it results in low genetic variation.
