Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A In such plants male and female plants are seperate.
B Male flowers detach from the plant and are carried towards female flowers by water currents.
C This kind of pollination is commonly found in vallisneria, hydrilla and elodea.

The given image shows pollination in vallisneria.
In case of vallisneria, female flowers remain attached to the parent plant and appear on the surface of the water whereas male flower on maturing detaches from the parent plant and is carried to the female flower by water currents where they release pollen grains and fertilisation takes place. It also occurs in plants like hydrilla and elodea.
