Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "self pollination" involves pollen from the same plant, so it's incorrect.
• "heredity" is about passing traits, not this fertilization process.
• "cross pollination" is defined as pollen transfer between different plants, matching the description.
• "true breeding" refers to consistent trait inheritance, not the pollination type.
• "hybrid" is an offspring of different varieties, not the pollination process.

C. cross pollination
