A
asexual reproduction
B
sexual reproduction
C
vegetative propogation
D
fragmentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a bee lands on a flower, the hairs all over the bees’ body attract pollen grains through electrostatic forces. Stiff hairs on their legs enable them to groom the pollen into specialized brushes or pockets on their legs or body, and then carry it back to their nest.

Both the process occurs in all bisexual flowers, in which both the male and female reproductive structure (anther and stigma) are involved.
