Solution

The correct option is C 30 minutes
In some cereals such as rice and wheat, pollen grains lose viability within 30 minutes of their release while in some members of Rosaceae, leguminoseae and solanaceae, pollen maintains viability for months. Hence, the period for which pollen remains viable is highly variable.
