The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of the following pollination is common amongst abiotic agents?" we will analyze the options provided and identify the correct answer step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pollination**: - Pollination is the process of transferring pollen from the anther (male part) to the stigma (female part) of a flower. This can occur through various agents. 2. **Identifying Pollination Types**: - The question provides four types of pollination: - Hydrophilic - Entomophilic - Ornithophilic - Anemophilic 3. **Classifying Pollination Agents**: - Pollination can be classified into two main categories: - **Biotic Agents**: Living organisms that facilitate pollination (e.g., insects, birds). - **Abiotic Agents**: Non-living factors that facilitate pollination (e.g., wind, water). 4. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Hydrophilic**: This refers to water-mediated pollination. It is an abiotic agent. - **Entomophilic**: This refers to insect-mediated pollination. It is a biotic agent. - **Ornithophilic**: This refers to bird-mediated pollination. It is also a biotic agent. - **Anemophilic**: This refers to wind-mediated pollination. It is an abiotic agent. 5. **Identifying Common Abiotic Pollination**: - Out of the four types, hydrophilic and anemophilic are the abiotic agents. - Between these two, anemophilic (wind pollination) is the most common method of pollination among abiotic agents. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question is **Anemophilic**, as it is the most common type of pollination among abiotic agents. ### Final Answer: **Anemophilic** is the common type of pollination among abiotic agents.
