Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: In a normal flower which opens and exposes the anthers and the stigma, complete autogamy is rather rare.

1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect

Geitonogamy
I: is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of another flower of the same plant.
II: is genetically cross-pollination involving a pollinating agent
III: functionally is similar to autogamy

1. Only I is correct
2. Only II and III are correct
3. I, II and III are correct
4. I, II and III are incorrect
