Answer is option (B)

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

The wind is the right answer.

A process through which the pollen is disseminated by the wind is known as "wind pollination or Anemophily. When pollen is stored on the stain (in angiosperms) or the ovule (in gymnosperms ), it pullulates, creating a slight pollen hose by a vulnerable area of the pollen surface. This method of pollination is followed by almost all the gymnosperms. Sweet chestnuts, oaks, alders are some of the examples of anemophilous plants.
