Q. Choose the correct group of plants that use entomophily as their preferred method of pollination.

Solution:

Pollination by insects is entomophily. Entomophilous flowers have bright colors, sticky pollen, nectar and fragrance, e.g., Bougainvillea, Salvia.
Zostera, Vallisneria are hydrophilous (pollinated by water). Zea mays (maize), Sorghum vulgare (jowar) are anemophilous (pollinated by wind). Butea is ornithophilous (pollinated by birds) while Bauhinia is chiropterophilous (pollinated by bats).
