Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): In monoecious plants like castor and maize, autogamy is prevented but geitonogamy can still occur. Reason (R): In monoecious plants, staminate and pistillate flowers are present on different individual plants. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
