Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) pollination

Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma. Fertilisation is the fusion of male and female gametes, which follows after the pollen tube reaches the ovule. Germination is sprouting of the seed, and transpiration is loss of water vapour from plants. Self- and cross-pollination are its two types.
