Solution

The correct option is B Cross pollination
  • Transfer of pollen grains from the male reproductive organ (anther) of one plant to the female reproductive organ (stigma) of another plant.
  • Insects and wind are the main agents of cross-pollination.
  • Thus, it creates genetic variations in the plants making it more resistant to diseases and other conditions than the parent plants.

The correct answer is OPTION B.
