The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks about the type of pollination that occurs in wheat. 2. **Understand Wheat's Classification**: Wheat is classified as a monocot. Monocots are a group of flowering plants that typically have one seed leaf. 3. **Explore Pollination Types**: The options provided for the type of pollination are: - Wind pollination - Insect pollination - Bird pollination - Harpogamy 4. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Wind Pollination**: This type of pollination is primarily associated with monocots. Since wheat is a monocot, it relies on wind for pollination. - **Insect Pollination**: This type of pollination occurs in flowers that produce nectar and scents to attract insects. Monocots like wheat generally do not have these features, making this option incorrect. - **Bird Pollination**: This type of pollination involves birds and is not common in monocots. Therefore, this option is also incorrect. - **Harpogamy**: This is a process involving the interference between the stamen and carpel of the same flower to prevent pollination. This does not apply to wheat, making it incorrect as well. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the type of pollination that occurs in wheat is wind pollination. **Final Answer**: The type of pollination in wheat is wind pollination. ---
