Best answer

Answer: 2. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Key idea: Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.

Wind and water pollinated flowers are usually not colourful and have no nectar (A true). They also produce large amounts of pollen (R true), but that is to improve the chance of pollen reaching a stigma, not the reason they lack colour and nectar.
