The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Examples of water pollinated flowers are," we will analyze the options provided and identify which plants are known for water pollination (hydrophily). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Pollination Type**: Understand that hydrophily refers to pollination that occurs through water. We need to find examples of plants that utilize this method. 2. **Examine Each Option**: - **Zostera**: This is a seagrass that reproduces through water pollination (hydrophily). - **Lotus**: While beautiful and aquatic, lotus flowers are primarily pollinated by insects (entomophily), not water. - **Water Lily**: Similar to lotus, water lilies are also primarily insect-pollinated (entomophily). - **Valisneria**: This is a true aquatic plant that reproduces through water pollination (hydrophily). - **Hydrilla**: Another aquatic plant that also utilizes water for pollination (hydrophily). - **Potamogeton**: This plant can exhibit both hydrophily and anemophily (wind pollination). 3. **Summarize Findings**: From the analysis: - **Water Pollinated Plants**: Zostera, Valisneria, Hydrilla. - **Not Water Pollinated**: Lotus and Water Lily (both are insect-pollinated). 4. **Conclude**: The correct examples of water-pollinated flowers from the options are Zostera, Valisneria, and Hydrilla. ### Final Answer: Examples of water-pollinated flowers are: **Zostera, Valisneria, and Hydrilla**. ---
