Answer» Correct Answer - B
Outer layer (exine) of pollen grain is made of a highly resistant substance called sporopollenin. Sporopollenin is not degraded by any enzyme. It is not affected by high temperature, strong acid or strong alkali. Because of sporopollenin, pollen grains are well preserved as fossils.
