(B), (C) and (D) Only
Detailed Explanation
Both wind and water pollinated flowers are not very colourful and do not produce nectar. In a majority of aquatic plants such as water hyacinth and water lily the flowers emerge above the level of water and are pollinated by insects or wind. Wind pollination is quite common in grasses. In most of the water pollinated species pollen grains are protected from wetting by a mucilaginous covering.
