Solution

The correct option is D No petals and light pollen
Wind pollinated plants will have light weight pollens which are mostly winged and are thus easy to be carried away by wind. Whereas the plants where the pollinating agents are insects, the petals will be bright and scented so that the insects get attracted to it and acts as pollinator.
