Vedclass · Answer

(D) Anemophily or wind pollination is a common abiotic pollination mechanism. To ensure effective pollination by wind,plants exhibit specific adaptations: $1$. Pollen grains must be light and non-sticky so that they can be easily transported by wind currents. $2$. Stamens are often well-exposed so that the pollen is easily dispersed into the wind. $3$. The stigma is often large and feathery to trap airborne pollen grains efficiently. Since all these features are adaptations for wind pollination,the correct answer is $D$.
