Consider the following two statements and select the correct option. Statement I: To compensate the uncertainties and associated loss of pollen grains during pollination by abiotic agents, the flowers produce enormous amount of pollens as compared to the number of ovules available for pollination. Statement II: Pollen grains coming in contact with the stigma is a chance factor in both wind and water pollination.
