Vedclass · Answer

(D) Air-pollinated flowers (anemophilous) are characterized by having reduced or absent perianth (petals and sepals) because they do not need to attract pollinators.They produce a large number of pollen grains that are light and non-sticky so that they can be easily transported by wind currents.In contrast,insect-pollinated flowers (entomophilous) typically have large,brightly coloured perianths to attract insects and produce sticky or spiny pollen grains that adhere to the insect's body.
