Solution

The correct option is D Wind
Wind pollinated flowers have single ovule in the ovary and the flowers are packed into an inflorescence. Pollen are light weight and non-sticky which leads to easy dispersal of the pollen from anther to stigma of the flower by wind. For example, corn cob where the pollens are packed in infloresence.
So, the correct answer is option D.
