Which process transfers pollen from the male reproductive structures to the female reproductive structures?
A
seed dispersal
B
fertilization
C
vascular transport
D
pollination
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollination is simply the transfer of pollen grains from an anther to a stigma . Fertilization occurs much later when the pollen grains germinate on the stigma and send down a pollen tube which releases the sex cells to fertilize the ovules.

Detailed explanation-2: -The transfer of pollen grain from the anther to the stigma of a pistil is called pollination. It is a mechanism by which non-motile male and female gametes are brought together for the fertilization.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is B pollination. ∙ The transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a flower is known as pollination. ∙ If the pollen lands on the stigma of the same flower or on the stigma of another flower of the same plant, it is called self-pollination.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
