Solution

The correct option is C Pollen grains
Seed plants are referred to angiosperms, in which seeds are present and are covered. They have male and female gametes that are responsible for fertilization. The male gametes are produced in larger numbers than the female gametes. These male gametes are the carrier of pollen grains while female gametes are the carrier of eggs or ovules. In pollination, the pollen grains are carried through wind, water or insects to the stigma of another flower.
So, the correct option is 'Water, Air, Insects, and Pollen grains'.
