The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct combinations of plants and their modes of pollination, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Ceratophyllum - Epihydrophily**: - Ceratophyllum is a water plant that undergoes hypohydrophily, which means it is pollinated while submerged in water. - **Conclusion**: This combination is incorrect. 2. **Maize - Anemophily**: - Maize is known for its wind pollination (anemophily). It has long, hairy tassels that facilitate the transfer of pollen by wind. - **Conclusion**: This combination is correct. 3. **Aristolochia - Zoophily**: - Aristolochia is a plant that is pollinated by animals, specifically insects. This makes it an example of zoophily. - **Conclusion**: This combination is correct. 4. **Adansonia - Chiropterophily**: - Adansonia, also known as the baobab tree, is pollinated by bats, which is referred to as chiropterophily. - **Conclusion**: This combination is correct. 5. **Salvia - Hypohydrophily**: - Salvia is primarily pollinated by insects (entomophily), not through water. Therefore, hypohydrophily is an incorrect association. - **Conclusion**: This combination is incorrect. 6. **Arisaema (snake plant) - Malacophily**: - Arisaema is known to be pollinated by slugs and snails, which is termed malacophily. - **Conclusion**: This combination is correct. 7. **Kigelia - Entomophily**: - Kigelia is primarily pollinated by bats, not insects. Therefore, this association is incorrect as it should be chiropterophily. - **Conclusion**: This combination is incorrect. ### Summary of Correct Combinations: - Correct combinations are: - (ii) Maize - Anemophily - (iii) Aristolochia - Zoophily - (iv) Adansonia - Chiropterophily - (vi) Arisaema - Malacophily Thus, the correct answer is **C: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th**.

To determine the correct combinations of plants and their modes of pollination, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Ceratophyllum - Epihydrophily**: - Ceratophyllum is a water plant that undergoes hypohydrophily, which means it is pollinated while submerged in water. - **Conclusion**: This combination is incorrect. ...
