Solution
The correct option is C Maize
Pollination is when pollen grains from an anther, the male portion of a flower, are transferred to a female part in the flower, known as the stigma. Anemophily or wind pollination is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by wind. Anemophilous pollen grains are light and non-sticky so that they can be transported by air currents. Maize or corn is pollinated by wind. The male anthers let go of their pollen and it blows over to a nearby female flower on another corn plant. So the correct option is 'maize'.
