Answer:

Wind, Insects/animals

Step-by-step explanation:

Pollination is the process by which pollen grains move from the anther(male part) to the stigma( female part).

Pollination by wind is usually made possible with flowers who have feathery stigma. The feathery stigma is easily swayed by the wind which makes it possible for it to catch pollen grains in the air.

Pollination by insects/animals is made

Possible by a form of attraction which is usually in the form of conspicuous petals and a good odor. These features attracts the insects/animals to the flowers.
