A
pollen being carried from the stamen of one flower to the pistil of another
B
seeds being carried from one place to another
C
a sperm cell joining with an egg cell to form a seed
D
a seed sprouting roots and leaves as it begins to grow
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -germination, the sprouting of a seed, spore, or other reproductive body, usually after a period of dormancy. The absorption of water, the passage of time, chilling, warming, oxygen availability, and light exposure may all operate in initiating the process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Germination refers to the process by which an organism grows from a seed or a spore. The most common forms of germination include a seed sprouting to form a seedling and the formation of a sporeling from a spore. Thus, germination occurs primarily in plant and fungal species.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a seed is exposed to the proper conditions, water and oxygen are taken in through the seed coat. The embryo’s cells start to enlarge. Then, the seed coat breaks open and the root emerges first, followed by the shoot that contains the leaves and stem. Sunlight supports the germination process by warming the soil.
