  3. C
    Small, producing large number of dry pollen grains
  4. D
    Large, producing abundant nectar and pollen

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Wind-pollinated (anemophilous) flowers do not need to attract insects. Therefore, they are usually small, inconspicuous, and lack nectar or scent. To increase the chances of successful pollination, they produce a large number of light, dry, and non-sticky pollen grains.
