The correct answer is:
A plant that has small unscented white flowers and produces a lot of light, dry pollen.
To determine which plant is wind-pollinated, we need to consider the characteristics of wind-pollinated plants. Wind-pollinated plants typically have small, inconspicuous flowers that lack bright colors or strong scents. This is because they rely on the wind to carry their pollen from male to female flowers, rather than attracting pollinators like bees or insects.
In this case, the plant described has small unscented white flowers, which matches the typical characteristics of wind-pollinated plants. Additionally, the plant produces a lot of light, dry pollen, which is another characteristic of wind-pollinated plants. The light and dry nature of the pollen makes it easier for the wind to carry it over long distances.
Therefore, the plant with small unscented white flowers and light, dry pollen is likely to be wind-pollinated.
