Solution
The correct option is A Anemophily
The phenomenon of pollen grains being transferred to stigma by air is called anemophily. The pollen grains are light and non-sticky so that they can easily be carried by air currents. The flowers have well-exposed stamens so that the pollens are easily dispersed into wind currents. Flowers have a large feathery stigma to easily trap the airborne pollen grains. Anemophily is quite common in grasses, maize, wheat, sugarcane, bamboo, etc. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
