Which of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Options

A. Anemophily Grasses, maize
B. Hydrophily -Vallisneria, Hydrilla
C. Malacophily -Rose, poppy
D. Ornithophily -Erythrina, Marcogravia

Answer

To determine which of the following pairs is not correctly matched, we need to analyze the types of pollination and their corresponding pollinating agents along with examples provided in the question.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understand Pollination Types**:
- Pollination is the process where pollen grains land on the stigma of a flower. Different agents facilitate this process.

2. **Identify Types of Pollination**:
- **Anemophily**: Pollination by air (wind). Examples: Grass, Maize.
- **Hydrophily**: Pollination by water. Examples: Velisneria, Hydrilla.
- **Malacophily**: Pollination by snails. (This is less common and not typically associated with common flowering plants.)
- **Entomophily**: Pollination by insects. Examples: Rose, Poppy.
- **Nectarophily**: Pollination by birds. Examples: Erythrina, Macrogravia.

3. **Analyze Each Pair**:
- Check if the examples given for each type of pollination are correct.
- For **Malacophily**, the examples of Rose and Poppy are incorrect since these plants are primarily pollinated by insects (Entomophily).

4. **Conclusion**:
- The pair that is not correctly matched is **Malacophily with Rose and Poppy**. The correct type of pollination for these plants is **Entomophily**.

### Final Answer:
The incorrect pair is **Malacophily with Rose and Poppy**.
