The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which group of genera is pollinated by the same agency, we need to analyze the pollination methods of the plants listed in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Genera and Their Pollination Agents:** - **Triticum (Wheat)**: Pollinated by wind. - **Zea (Maize)**: Pollinated by wind. - **Musa (Banana)**: Pollinated by insects. From the first option, we see that Triticum and Zea are both wind-pollinated, but Musa is not. 2. **Analyze the Second Option:** - **Kadam Tree**: Pollinated by bats. - **Cannabis**: Pollinated by wind. In this case, Kadam tree and Cannabis are not pollinated by the same agency. 3. **Examine the Third Option:** - **Salvia**: Pollinated by insects. - **Calotropis**: Pollinated by insects. - **Rafflesia**: Pollinated by carrion flies (a type of insect). Here, all three plants are pollinated by insects, making this option consistent. 4. **Evaluate the Fourth Option:** - **Salvia**: Pollinated by insects. - **Ophrys**: Pollinated by a specific insect (Pavasp). - **Pinus**: Pollinated by wind. This option has a mix of pollination methods (insects and wind), so it does not fit. 5. **Conclusion:** The only group of genera that are all pollinated by the same agency (insects) is the third option: Salvia, Calotropis, and Rafflesia. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option 3: Salvia, Calotropis, and Rafflesia**. ---
