CWell-exposed stamens
DLarge, feathery stigmas
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Bright colours and sweet nectar
Wind-pollinated (anemophilous) flowers are **dull, scentless, nectarless** — they don't need to attract animals. They have light, non-sticky pollen, exposed stamens and feathery stigmas. Example: corn cob (the 'silk' is feathery stigma).
