(II) Stigma is large and feathery.
(III) The flowers are not colourful.
(IV) The flowers do not produce nectar.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Long and ribbon-like pollens are found in water pollinated plants while large feathery stigma is found in wind pollinated flowers. But both of these types of flowers lack showy colourful petals and nectar because they do not have to lure insects to carry out pollination.
