The correct option is B Anemophily

Each floret contains a pistil and stamens and is enclosed by two bracts, the lemma and the palea.Anemophily or wind pollination is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by wind. Almost all gymnosperms are anemophilous, as are many plants in the order Poales, including grasses, sedges and rushes. So, the correct answer is option A.
