The correct option is B
Long and hanging stamens

Insect-pollinated flowers are called entomophilous. Eg: Sunflowers and Orchids. They have the following characteristics:
Flowers are large and usually brightly coloured to attract insects.
Flowers produce scent and nectar.
Pollen grains and stigma are sticky in nature.

Long and hanging stamens are special features of wind-pollinated (anemophilous) plants.
