The transfer of pollen grains from the male part of the flower to the female part is called ____
A
Transpiration
B
Pollination
C
Fertilization
D
Ovulation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the anther, i.e., the male part of a flower, onto the pistil, i.e., the female part of a flower. The transfer between male and female parts can be within the same flower or to a different flower of the same species.

Detailed explanation-2: -The transfer of the pollen grains from the male part of the plant (anther of a stamen) to the female part of the plant (stigma of a pistil) is called pollination.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pollination is the process that brings these male and female gametes together. Pollen can’t get from the anthers to the ovules on its own, so pollination relies on other things to move the pollen. The wind or animals, especially insects and birds, pick up pollen from the male anthers and carry it to the female stigma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from stamen to pistil. After pollination, pollen grains fuse with the ovules to form a zygote. This is called fertilisation. Zygote develops into an embryo which gives rise to the new plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the male part of the flower (anther) to the female part of the flower (stigma) of the same kind or species. After pollination, fertilization takes place which results in formation of fruits and seeds.
