The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of matching the plant with the agent of pollination, we will analyze each plant and its corresponding pollination agent step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Pollination Agent for Yucca:** - The Yucca plant is primarily pollinated by the **Pranuba moth**. This moth bores through the stigma and lays its eggs in the ovary of the flower, which also helps in fertilization. Therefore, Yucca matches with **C. Moth**. 2. **Identify the Pollination Agent for Water Lily:** - The Water Lily is an aquatic plant, but its flowers are not submerged. Pollination occurs through either **insects (entomophily)** or **wind (anemophily)**. However, it is more commonly associated with insect pollination. Thus, Water Lily matches with **D. Insect**. 3. **Identify the Pollination Agent for Corn:** - Corn is a grass species that is well adapted for **wind pollination**. It has features like exposed stamens and light, non-sticky pollen grains that facilitate this process. Therefore, Corn matches with **A. Wind**. 4. **Identify the Pollination Agent for Vallisneria:** - Vallisneria is an aquatic plant that undergoes **water pollination**. The pollination occurs on the surface of the water, which is classified as **epihydrophily**. Hence, Vallisneria matches with **B. Water**. ### Final Matching: - I. Yucca → C. Moth - II. Water Lily → D. Insect - III. Corn → A. Wind - IV. Vallisneria → B. Water ### Summary of Matches: - **I. Yucca** → **C. Moth** - **II. Water Lily** → **D. Insect** - **III. Corn** → **A. Wind** - **IV. Vallisneria** → **B. Water**
