• A. Fertilisation
• B. Pollination
• C. Asexual reproduction
• D. Budding

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Pollination

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains to the stigma of the flower. Sexual reproduction is the formation of a new individual following the union of two gametes. The process of fusion of the male and the female gamete is called fertilisation. This results in the formation of a zygote. Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which buds are formed in the parent body. When it grows it separates itself from the parent body and develops into a new organism.
