Peanuts[groundnuts] wheats, apricots, rice, tomatoes are self pollinating plants
The following plants have self-pollinated flowers EXCEPT:
C. maize
Explanation:
Groundnut (A): Typically self-pollinated.
Guinea Corn (B): Another name for sorghum, which is often self-pollinated.
Rice (D): Generally self-pollinated.
Wheat (E): Primarily self-pollinated.
Maize (C), however, is predominantly cross-pollinated. Maize has separate male (tassels) and female (silks) flowers, and pollen is typically carried by wind from the tassels to the silks of other maize plants.

Yes, I am sure. Here is a detailed explanation:
Groundnut (A): Groundnut flowers are primarily self-pollinating. They often fertilize themselves before the flower even opens.
Guinea Corn (B): Guinea corn, also known as sorghum, generally self-pollinates but can also cross-pollinate.
Rice (D): Rice flowers are predominantly self-pollinating.
Wheat (E): Wheat is primarily self-pollinating.
Maize (C) is different because it is predominantly cross-pollinated. Maize has separate male (tassels) and female (silks) flowers, and wind carries the pollen from the tassels to the silks of other maize plants, making it largely cross-pollinated. This sets maize apart from the others in terms of its primary pollination mechanism.
out of the options provided
Groundnut: is primarily self-pollinating.
* Okra: is capable of self-pollination, although cross-pollination by insects can also occur.
* Rice: is predominantly self-pollinating.
* Wheat: is a strictly self-pollinating crop.
Therefore, none of the options strictly lack self-pollination. However, okra is the most likely answer because while it can self-pollinate, cross-pollination occurs more readily compared to groundnut, rice, and wheat, which are largely or strictly self-pollinating.
Groundnut is a self-pollinating flower alongside rice, wheat, apricots, tomatoes, and guinea corn
