Solution

The correct option is C Translator mechanism
Calotropis shows translator or clip mechanism. Pollen grains are present in pollinia. The pollinia are attracted to a rough and sticky disc called corpusculum. When the insect visits the flower, pollinia get entangled in the legs of the insect. When the insect visits another flower the pollinia are transferred.
