Solution

The correct option is A Animals
Pollination carried by the animals is known as zoophily. The coloured corolla attracts insects for pollination. It has sticky pollens which attach to the insect and are transferred from the anther to the stigma of the flower. For example, Arctium.
Pollination carried by the wind is known as anemophily. It has lighter pollens or winged pollens which are easily carried by the wind. For example, pine.
Pollination carried by water is hydrophilly. It has lighter pollen which is easily carried by the water currents. For example, hydrilla.
