In some flowers, the ovary is hidden deep within the base of the flower while the pollen is held up in the air, often near a sou
rce of nectar. How is this general design helpful to the plant? a. It keeps the pollen dry by exposing it to air while keeping the ovary moist.
b. It makes it possible for seeds to develop both in the ovary and in the pollen grains.
c. It encourages animals to carry pollen for cross-fertilization while leaving the ovary protected.
d. It allows the plant to self-fertilize more easily since the pollen can drop into the ovary.
