Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wind-pollinated plants like red maples do not rely on attracting pollinators by producing showy petals or floral scents. Instead, they invest a great deal in producing massive amounts of pollen to increase the probability of successful pollination by wind. Therefore, option B, which mentions showy or scented flowers and massive amounts of pollen, is the best choice.
