The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Process**: The question asks about the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of a flower. This process is crucial for plant reproduction. 2. **Define the Terms**: - **Anther**: The part of the stamen that produces pollen grains. - **Stigma**: The part of the pistil that receives the pollen grains. 3. **Understand the Mechanism**: The pollen grains are transferred from the anther (where they are produced) to the stigma (where fertilization can occur). 4. **Name the Process**: The specific term for this transfer of pollen grains is called **pollination**. 5. **Types of Pollination**: Pollination can occur through two main mechanisms: - **Biotic Pollination**: Involves living organisms, such as insects (bees, butterflies) that help in transferring pollen. - **Abiotic Pollination**: Involves non-living factors, such as wind or water, that facilitate the movement of pollen. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma is called **pollination**. ---
