• A. A-(ii), B-(iv), C-(i), D-(iii)
• B. A-(ii), B-(iv), C-(iii), D-(i)
• C. A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(i), D-(iv)
• D. A-(iv), B-(iii), C-(ii), D-(i)

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-(ii), B-(iv), C-(i), D-(iii)

The tallest flower is amorphophallus which is commonly known as Rafflesia flower. It is known to be the largest flower in the world.

Pronuba moth and the plant Yucca have an interdependent relationship regarding the pollination. These are codependent on each other.

Entomophilous flowers are those kinds where pollination is done with the help of insects. The flower that are entomophilous are usually bright in colour to attract the insects. An example is salvia.

Anemophilous flowers are the one ones where the pollination takes place by the wind. The pollen grains are very light and the stigma is sticky and feathery so that they can catch the pollen grains. In maize, the pollination is anemophilous.

So, the correct option is 'A-(ii), B-(iv), C-(i), D-(iii)'
