Best answer

Answer: 1. B, C, D and E only

Key idea: only some aquatic plants are water pollinated, and these flowers are inconspicuous.

A is false: Vallisneria flowers are small and not colourful, and they have no nectar.
B is true: waterlily and water hyacinth are pollinated by insects or wind, not water.
C is true: pollen grains are protected from wetting by a mucilaginous covering.
D is true: pollen grains of some are long and ribbon-like (e.g. seagrasses).
E is true: pollen is carried passively by water.

So B, C, D and E are correct.
