Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Wind pollination is also known as Anemophily.
When pollen is transported by wind, this is called anemophily. Anemophily or wind pollination is a form of pollination whereby pollen is distributed by wind.
Almost all gymnosperms are anemophilous, as are many plants in the order Poales, including grasses, sedges and rushes.
Many of the world's most important crop plants are wind-pollinated. These include wheat, rice, corn, rye, barley, and oats. Many economically important trees are also wind-pollinated.
