Answer 1

The correct option is C II and IV are correct

Wind pollinated flowers have large feathery and well exposed stigma so that it can easily trap the pollen grains present in the air.
Water pollination is very rare and seen in only about 30 genera.
Both wind and water pollinated flowers are not colourful and also do not produce nectar.
Bees are the dominant biotic pollinating agents.
