• A. Air
• B. Water
• C. Insects
• D. Birds

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Insects

Pollination is the process of transfer of pollen grain from the anther to stigma. Angiosperm is the flower producing plant that attracts insects for pollination. Insect pollination not only conserves energy for the plant, but insects may play a part in angiosperm diversity. The zoophilous pollen species have adaptations for pollination by generalist insects (39%), specialized pollen-collecting insects (27%) and other specialized pollinators (10%).
