Question

Match biotic vectors in List I with the pollinating term in List II and select the correct answer using the codes given the lists.

List-I	List-II
a. Insects	$1$. Ornithophily
b. Birds	$2$. Chiropterophily
c. Bats	$3$. Entomophily
d. Humming birds	$4$. Hydrophily

• A. A-$3$, B-$1$, C-$2$, D-$1$
• B. A-$1$, B-$2$, C-$3$, D-$4$
• C. A-$2$, B-$4$, C-$3$, D-$1$
• D. A-$4$, B-$2$, C-$3$, D-$1$

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-$3$, B-$1$, C-$2$, D-$1$

• Pollination in which the pollen is carried on an insect is called entomophily, and the flower is called entomophilous.
• Pollination of a flowering plant through the birds is called ornithophily.
• Chiropterophily is the pollination of plants by bats. Bat pollination is most common in tropical and desert areas that have many night-blooming plants. Just like bees and birds that pollinate, nectar-consuming bats have evolved ways to find and harvest sweet liquid.
• Humming birds help in the pollination of flowering plants, i.e., ornithophily.
  

So, the correct answer is option A.
