Solution

The correct option is C
Pollination

Male gametes and female gamete are produced by pollen grain and embryo sac respectively and both are non-motile. Pollination is the mechanism which brings both the gametes together for fertilisation in flowering plants. Syngamy is an event in fertilisation where the gametes fuse (egg and sperm), parthenogenesis is a process of formation of fruits without fertilisation. Apomixis is asexual reproduction in plants.
