Answer 1

The statement that is true about pollination in flowers is:

B. Bees pollinate flowers when pollen gets stuck to their bodies, then is transferred to the stigma.

This accurately describes how pollen is transferred by pollinators, particularly bees, allowing fertilization to occur. The other statements contain inaccuracies regarding the roles of the stigma, ovules, and the process of fertilization.
