Assertion :Hydrophily constitutes a major mode of pollination in most of the aquatic angiospermous plants. Reason: Almost all the aquatic dicot and monocot plants require water for the transport of male gametes and for fertilisation.

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Hydrophily is the mode of pollination (transfer of pollen grains from
the mature anther of a flower to the stigma of another flower) which
is accomplished through the agency of water. Pollination by water is
quite rare in flowering plants and is limited to only about 30
genera, mostly monocotyledons e.g., Vallisneria, Zostera,
Ceratophyllum, etc. In many aquatic plants with emergent flowers,
pollination occurs by wind or insects, e.g., lotus, water lily, water
hyacinth, etc.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
