asexual reproduction
B

D
pollination
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of every living organism, including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can produce offspring is by making seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower of different plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The transfer of pollen grains from anther to stigma of a flower is called pollination. Pollen grains are transferred mainly by wind, water, insects and animals. They are called pollinating agents.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -cross-pollination, also called heterogamy, type of pollination in which sperm-laden pollen grains are transferred from the cones or flowers of one plant to egg-bearing cones or flowers of another.
