The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pollination**: Begin by defining what pollination is. Pollination refers to the transfer of pollen grains from the anther (the male part of the flower) to the stigma (the female part of the flower) of a plant. 2. **Types of Pollination**: Recognize that there are two main types of pollination: - **Self-Pollination**: This occurs when pollen from the same flower lands on its own stigma. - **Cross-Pollination**: This occurs when pollen from one flower is transferred to the stigma of a different flower. 3. **Defining Cross-Pollination**: Understand that cross-pollination is a specific type of pollination that involves the transfer of pollen between different flowers. 4. **Terminology**: The term used to describe the phenomenon of cross-pollination is "allogamy". 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the phenomenon of cross-pollination is also called **allogamy**. ---
