Answer:
Due to Self Pollination.
Explanation:
A) Oxalis and Viola posses cleistogamous flowers (closed flowers, i.e. they do not open at maturity). Hence cross pollination is impossible for these flowers hence they self pollinate themselves and do not require pollinating agents.
B) Pea flowers produce assured seed-sets because it undergoes self pollination. Self pollination is certain and it doesn't depend on any probability
Good day :)
