Answer»

The correct answer is (d) Ornithophily

The BEST explanation: It is the mode of allogamy performed by birds. Only a few types of birds are specialised for this. They usually have small size and long beaks. Two common types of tropical pollinating birds are sun birds (Afro-Asia) and humming birds (AMERICA). Humming birds perform POLLINATION while HOVERING over the FLOWERS.
