Correct Answer:

Clestogamous flowers are always autogamous

Cleistogamous flowers do not expose their reproductive parts. Anthers and stigma lie close to each other. Pure autogamy occurs since there is no chance of cross-pollination. Cleistogamy is the most efficient floral adaptation for promoting self-pollination. E.g., Viola mirabilis and Oxalis autosella.
