Solution
The correct option is B Wind pollinated
The pollen grains which are very light in weight can be passed on by wind from one flower to another or to the stigma of the same flower. This is known as wind pollination.
They produce lightweight pollens in large numbers and do not produce vectors. The stigma is sticky.
