Answer: 2. Wind pollinated plant inflorescence showing flowers with well exposed stamens.

Key idea: a dense spike with many long, well-exposed stamens is typical of a wind-pollinated plant.

The figure shows a compact inflorescence with feathery stamens projecting outside, which release light pollen into the air. Autogamy and cleistogamy need closed or hidden flowers, and water-pollinated flowers do not look like this.
