The genetic mechanism, that prevents self pollen (from the same flower or other flowers of the same plant) from fertilising the ovules by inhibiting pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil, is called as

1. Dioecy                           

2. Dichogamy

3. Monocliny                    

4. Self incompatibility
