Solution

The correct option is A Wind
Plants which have one or few ovules are generally pollinated by wind and this pollination by wind is called anemophily. Such plants have very less ovaries so wind pollination can effectively bring the pollen in contact with the stigma. Other agents like birds, insects etc. might damage the flowers and since there are only one or few ovules, such plants prefer to get pollinated by wind.
So, the correct answer is A.
