Answer
C.
Datura
D.

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Feathery stigma occurs in Wheat/Jowar.
The stigmas are long and feathery, which gives a large surface area for catching pollen.
Feather stigmas are generally found in the Poaceae family and wheat is one of the representatives of this family.
Wheat has feathery stigmas because it is wind-pollinated and feathery stigmas are necessary for capturing the pollen grains.
