Pollination is
A
when pollen grows on a plant
B
when pollen moves from the pistil to the stamen.
C
when pollen moves from the stamen to the petals.
D
When pollen moves from the stamen to the pistil.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pollination is an essential part of plant reproduction. Pollen from a flower’s anthers (the male part of the plant) rubs or drops onto a pollinator. The pollinator then take this pollen to another flower, where the pollen sticks to the stigma (the female part). The fertilized flower later yields fruit and seeds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pollination : The mechanism of transferring pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of the same or different plant is called pollination. The pollen grains can be transferred to the stigma of the flower through wind, water and insects called pollinating agents.

Detailed explanation-4: -Due to the spatial separation between male and female pollen grains from the anther of most flowering plants, including orchids, pollens are transported by wind or animals and deposited onto the receptive surface of the stigma of a different plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -To be pollinated, pollen must be moved from a stamen to the stigma. When pollen from a plant’s stamen is transferred to that same plant’s stigma, it is called self-pollination. When pollen from a plant’s stamen is transferred to a different plant’s stigma, it is called cross-pollination.
