Answer 1

The correct option is D Both a and b

As pollen grains are rich in nutrients, they are available in the market as food supplements in the form of tablets and syrups. The consumption of pollen has been claimed to increase the performance of athletes and race horses.

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of the flower. Pollen tablets cannot be used for pollination.
