The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the odd one with respect to anemophily, we will analyze each option provided and determine which one does not fit the criteria of wind pollination. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Anemophily**: Anemophily refers to the process of pollination that occurs through the wind. Plants that utilize this method typically have certain adaptations, such as lightweight pollen and flowers that are not brightly colored. 2. **Evaluate the First Option - Maize and Wheat**: - Both maize and wheat are known to be pollinated by wind. - **Conclusion**: This option is consistent with anemophily. 3. **Evaluate the Second Option - Wheat and Sugarcane**: - Similar to maize, wheat is wind-pollinated, and sugarcane also relies on wind for pollination. - **Conclusion**: This option is also consistent with anemophily. 4. **Evaluate the Third Option - Bamboo and Zostera**: - Bamboo is indeed wind-pollinated, which aligns with anemophily. - However, Zostera (commonly known as eelgrass) primarily relies on water for pollination, making it a hydrophilous plant. - **Conclusion**: This option is inconsistent with anemophily. 5. **Final Decision**: Since Zostera does not fit the criteria of wind pollination, it is the odd one out in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is the third option: Bamboo and Zostera. ### Final Answer: The odd one with respect to anemophily is **Bamboo and Zostera**.
