Solution

The correct option is A Ensuring cross pollination

The inflorescence is the arrangement of flowers on the stem of the plant. It provides the chance of cross-pollination and also it makes flowers more conspicuous to attract insects. When an insect grazes through the flower to collect the nectar, pollen grains stick on the body from the anther. When the insect move to each flower, then it leaves the residue of pollen on the stigma and thus it triggers the process of pollination.

So the correct answer is ensuring cross-pollination.

The correct option is C.
