  • D Scented petals
  • E Large pendulous anther
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The correct answer is:

D. Scented petals

Wind-pollinated flowers typically do not have scented petals because they do not rely on attracting pollinators like insects or animals. Instead, they produce a large amount of light, smooth pollen and often have small, inconspicuous flowers with large, pendulous anthers to release pollen into the air.
