Reproduction in plants

Answer: D

Pollination = pollen transfer. Fertilisation happens later, when the male nucleus fuses with the ovule.

Trap A Uses an everyday idea instead of the biology: Translate everyday words into the textbook definition before choosing. If the only reason an option attracts you is its name or looks, test it against the definition in the stem.

Trap B Gives the job of a neighbouring structure or stage: Learn structures as pairs of 'name → one job' and contrast neighbours: ribosome makes protein, mitochondrion releases energy; cochlea hears, semicircular canals balance. When two options sit in the same organ or process, ask which one does exactly the job in the stem.

Trap C Mixes up a pair of similar technical terms: Make a two-column table for each confusable pair with one defining feature each, and a memory hook (aTLas holds the 'world' (skull) and nods; aXis lets you shake 'no'). Underline the defining feature the stem gives before you look at the options.
