Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) transfer of pollen grain from anther to stigma
Explanation
Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther (male part) to the stigma (female part) of a flower.
It is distinct from fertilization, which is the fusion of male and female gametes after pollen germination.
Germination of pollen and growth of the pollen tube are later events, not pollination itself.
