The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pollination**: Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the male part of a flower (anther) to the female part (stigma). This is crucial for fertilization and the formation of seeds. 2. **Identifying Types of Plants**: The question asks where pollination occurs. We need to identify the types of plants that undergo this process. The main categories to consider are: - Angiosperms (flowering plants) - Gymnosperms (non-flowering seed plants) - Pteridophytes (ferns and their relatives) - Fungi (not involved in pollination) 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Dryophytes and Angiosperms - Dryophytes are not a recognized category in plant taxonomy. - **Option B**: Pteridophyte and Angiosperms - Pteridophytes do not undergo pollination as they reproduce via spores. - **Option C**: Angiosperms and Gymnosperms - Both of these groups involve pollination. Angiosperms have flowers, and Gymnosperms have cones where pollination occurs. - **Option D**: Angiosperms and Fungi - Fungi do not participate in pollination. 4. **Conclusion**: The only option that correctly identifies the groups of plants where pollination occurs is **Option C: Angiosperms and Gymnosperms**. **Final Answer**: Pollination occurs in Angiosperms and Gymnosperms. ---
