I got this question in class test.

Question is from Ecosystem Services topic in portion Ecosystem of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) Insects can’t pollinate

To explain I would say: The act of transfer of pollen grains from the male (part) anther to a female part (stigma) of a plant is known as pollination. After successful pollination, the process of fertilization occurs which leads to the formation of fruits and seeds.
