Best answer

Answer: 2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

  • Statement I: cleistogamous flowers never open, so pollen falls on the stigma of the same flower and they are always autogamous. True.
  • Statement II: they give no chance of cross pollination, so no new variation, which is a disadvantage. True.

Both are correct.
