Solution

The correct option is C Wind
Wind pollinated flowers (anemophilous flowers) have a single ovule in each ovary and numerous flowers packed into an inflorescence.

These flowers have well-exposed stamens so that the pollen is easily dispersed by wind. The pollen grains are light and non-sticky so that they can be transported by wind currents and large, feathery stigmas help to easily trap air-borne pollen grains.

Example: corn cob
