B.

-
C.

-
D.
The flowers are not scented
-
E.
The pollen is light and smooth
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Pollen grains with rough, spiny surfaces are not a characteristic of wind-pollinated flowers. In fact, wind-pollinated flowers typically have smooth, light pollen grains to facilitate easy dispersal by the wind. Rough or spiny pollen would be less effective in wind pollination, as it would not disperse as well.
