Select the correct statement:

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: (d) Pollination is transfer of pollen grains from stamen to stigma

Explanation:

• Pollination is the process by which pollen grains are transferred from the stamen (male reproductive part) of a flower to the stigma (female reproductive part).
• This process is crucial for the fertilization and reproduction of flowering plants. Pollination can occur through various agents, including wind, water, insects, or animals.

Other Options:

• While insects often facilitate pollination, the act itself is not merely their visit but involves the transfer of pollen.
• Pollination is the growth of pollen tube in ovule: This refers to fertilization, not pollination.
• Pollination is germination of pollen grains: Pollen germination occurs after pollination when the pollen grain forms a tube to reach the ovule.
