The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of 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. **Differentiate Between Types of Pollination**: - **Biotic Pollination**: This involves living organisms (animals) as pollinators. Common examples include: - **Entomophily**: Pollination by insects (e.g., bees, butterflies). - **Ornithophily**: Pollination by birds (e.g., hummingbirds). - **Mellitophily**: Pollination by bees specifically. - **Abiotic Pollination**: This involves non-living agents. The most common example is: - **Anemophily**: Pollination by wind. 3. **Analyze the Given Options**: - **Ornithophily**: This is biotic pollination (by birds). - **Entomophily**: This is biotic pollination (by insects). - **Anemophily**: This is NOT biotic pollination (pollination by wind). - **Mellitophily**: This is biotic pollination (by bees). 4. **Identify the Correct Answer**: - Among the options, **Anemophily** is the only one that does not involve living organisms as pollinators. Thus, it does not come under biotic pollination. ### Final Answer: The option that does not come under biotic pollination is **Anemophily**. ---
