Solution

The correct option is A

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower. It might either occur within the same flower (Self pollination) or between two different flowers of the same plant or a related plant(croos pollination). Cross pollination involves various external agencies to carry pollen grains from one flower to another and are called the pollinators.
