The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristic features of certain flowers, we can break down the information as follows: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Key Features**: The question lists specific features of the flowers: well-exposed stamens, large feathery stigma, single ovule in each ovary, and numerous flowers packed into an inflorescence. 2. **Understand Pollination Types**: We need to understand the different types of pollination mentioned in the options: - **Entomophily**: Pollination by insects. - **Anemophily**: Pollination by wind. - **Ornithophily**: Pollination by birds. - **Zoophily**: Pollination by animals. 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Entomophily**: Flowers that are pollinated by insects typically have bright colors, sticky pollen, and enclosed stamens. This does not match our features. - **Anemophily**: Wind-pollinated flowers often have exposed stamens and feathery stigmas to catch pollen from the air. They usually have a single ovule in each ovary and can be found in dense inflorescences. This matches our features. - **Ornithophily**: Flowers that attract birds usually have bright colors and specific arrangements to facilitate bird pollination, which does not align with the features given. - **Zoophily**: Flowers that rely on animals for pollination often have hairy pollen grains to adhere to animals, which does not match the features described. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Anemophily**, as it aligns perfectly with the characteristics provided in the question. ### Final Answer: The characteristic feature of well-exposed stamens, large feathery stigma, single ovule in each ovary, and numerous flowers packed into inflorescence is indicative of **Anemophily** (wind pollination). ---
