The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given plants exhibits anemophily (wind pollination), we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Anemophily**: - Anemophily refers to the process of pollination where pollen is transferred by wind. This type of pollination is characterized by light, non-sticky pollen grains that can be easily carried by air currents. 2. **Analyzing Option (a) Salvia**: - Salvia is known to require pollinators (like insects) for its pollination process. This indicates that it does not rely on wind for pollination, thus it does not exhibit anemophily. 3. **Analyzing Option (b) Vallisneria**: - Vallisneria is a water plant that primarily uses water for its pollination process, known as hydrophily. Therefore, it does not exhibit anemophily. 4. **Analyzing Option (c) Coconut**: - Coconut trees are well-known for their anemophilous characteristics. They produce light and feathery pollen that can be carried by wind, making them a prime example of wind pollination. 5. **Analyzing Option (d) Bottle Brush**: - The Bottle Brush plant typically relies on birds for pollination, indicating that it is not anemophilous but rather relies on animal pollination (entomophily). 6. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all options, the only plant that exhibits anemophily is **Coconut** (option c). ### Final Answer: **(c) Coconut**
