Answer 1

The correct option is A $1,2$ and $3$

Pollinia is a coherent mass of pollen grains in plants which are product of one anther but transferred as single unit during pollination. Its example is orchids.

Intra ovarian fertilization is seen in papaver.

Myrmecophilous (pollination by ants) is seen in citrus plants.

Hence, the correct answer is (A).
