Detailed explanation-1: –The pollen grains in the insect-pollinated flowers are sticky and have rough surfaces so that they can be carried over by the insect by getting adhered to their body parts. So, the correct answer is ‘Sticky pollens with rough surface’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Insect-pollinated flowers usually possess sticky and heavy pollens with a rough surface that allow them to stick to insects easily. Flowers also have sweet nectar that attracts insects that go from flower to flower to pollinate the flowers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wind-pollinated plants produce lots of lightweight, smooth pollen. However, insect-pollinated plants don’t produce as much pollen and the pollen is heavy and sticky.

Detailed explanation-5: -Option (B)-Bright petals, rough sticky pollen is correct for insect-pollinated flowers because they are brightly colored and have large and sticky pollen grains with spikes.
