The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Pollination**: Pollination is the process by which pollen is transferred from the male part of a flower (anther) to the female part (stigma) to enable fertilization. 2. **Types of Pollination**: There are several modes of pollination, including: - Wind pollination (anemophily) - Insect pollination (entomophily) - Water pollination (hydrophily) - Animal pollination (zoophily) 3. **Identifying Rare Types of Pollination**: Among these types, we need to identify which one is considered rare in flowering plants. 4. **Analyzing Each Type**: - **Wind Pollination**: Common in many plants, especially grasses and trees. - **Insect Pollination**: Very common, as many flowering plants rely on insects for pollination. - **Animal Pollination**: Also common, with many plants adapted to attract various animals. - **Water Pollination**: This type is quite rare and is limited to only about 30 genera of flowering plants, primarily among monocots. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the type of pollination that is quite rare in flowering plants is **water pollination**. **Final Answer**: Water pollination is quite rare in flowering plants. ---
