Correct answer · Option A
A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
Explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Corn cob (A) consists of tassels and silks (stigma and style) that wave in the wind to trap airborne pollens, matching II.
2. Vallisneria (B) female flowers reach the water surface by a long stalk for surface water pollination, matching I.
3. Zostera (C) is a marine seagrass where long, ribbon-like pollens are released submerged in water, matching IV.
4. Water lily (D) produces flowers that emerge above the water level and are typically pollinated by insects or wind, matching III.
Thus, the correct matching is A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III.
