Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Pollen grains
During cross-pollination, huge quantity of pollen grains produced by the flowers get wasted. Since all cross-pollinating plants depend on external pollinators for pollination, they have to make sure that pollination continues to take place. Therefore, to ensure maximum chances of pollination, plenty of pollens are produced by the flowers, most of which gets wasted during the process.
