The correct Answer is:
To determine which group of genera is pollinated by the same agency, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Examine the First Option: Triticum, Cocos, Mangifera** - **Triticum (Wheat)**: Pollinated by wind. - **Cocos (Coconut)**: Pollinated by honey bees or wasps. - **Mangifera (Mango)**: Typically pollinated by insects, especially flies and bees. - **Conclusion**: Since Triticum is wind-pollinated while Cocos and Mangifera are insect-pollinated, this option is incorrect. 2. **Examine the Second Option: Ficus, Cygelia** - **Ficus**: Pollinated by wasps. - **Cygelia**: Pollinated by bats or wind. - **Conclusion**: Since Ficus is wasp-pollinated and Cygelia is not consistently pollinated by the same agency (bats or wind), this option is also incorrect. 3. **Examine the Third Option: Salvia, Morus** - **Salvia**: Pollinated by birds. - **Morus (Mulberry)**: Pollinated by insects. - **Conclusion**: Since Salvia is bird-pollinated and Morus is insect-pollinated, this option is incorrect as well. 4. **Examine the Fourth Option: Bombax, Butea, Bohemia** - **Bombax**: Pollinated by birds. - **Butea**: Pollinated by birds. - **Bohemia**: Pollinated by birds. - **Conclusion**: All three genera are pollinated by birds. This indicates that they share the same pollinating agency. 5. **Final Conclusion**: The correct answer is the fourth option: **Bombax, Butea, and Bohemia**, as they are all pollinated by birds, which is a type of pollination known as **Ornithophilia**.
