Which of the following is NOT a method of pollination?

Correct option is C

Correct Answer: (C) Asexual pollination

Explanation: Pollination refers to the transfer of pollen from the male part (anther) to the female part (stigma) of a flower, enabling fertilization.

The common methods of pollination are:

• (A) Self-pollination: This occurs when pollen from the same flower or from another flower on the same plant fertilizes the stigma.
• (B) Water pollination: Some plants, like aquatic plants, are pollinated by water, where pollen floats or is carried by the water to the stigma.
• (D) Wind pollination: This occurs when pollen is carried by the wind to fertilize another flower, such as in grasses and many trees.

However, (C) Asexual pollination is not a correct term. Asexual reproduction does not involve pollination, as it does not require the fusion of male and female gametes.

Thus, Asexual pollination is not a method of pollination.
