Question:

Flowers which have a single ovule in the ovary and are packed into an inflorescence are usually pollinated by:

Bat

Water

Bee

Wind

Solution:

The correct option is D. Wind. Wind-pollinated flowers have a single ovule in the ovary, and the flowers are packed into an inflorescence.

For example, corn cob, where the pollens are packed in an inflorescence. So, the correct answer is option D.
