Answer 1

The correct option is B X is wrong, Y is correct and Z is correct reason for Y

Cannabis is an annual herb which is indigenous to eastern Asia. Many hallucinogenic drugs like bhang, charas and marijuana are obtained from different parts of Cannabis plant. The flowers of Cannabis plant are wind pollinated so they have small, dry and light pollen grains which can be easily carried by the wind to the stigma of another flower. The flowers are not attractive and do not produce any scent because scented flowers are characteristics of insect pollinated plants.

Hence, statement X is wrong and both Y and Z are correct with Z being the correct reason for Y.

So, the correct answer is 'X is wrong, Y is correct and Z is correct reason for Y'.
