Solution

The correct option is C wheat
The period of viability of pollen grains is different in different plant species. It depends on the temperature and humidity.
In cereals such as rice and wheat, pollen grains lose viability within 30 minutes of their release.

In some members of Rosaceae (rose), Leguminoseae (pulses) and Solanaceae (potato), pollen grains can remain viable for months.
