B Correct answer
Explanation

Hydrophilous plants are adapted for water pollination. Their pollen grains have specific gravity equal to water, allowing them to float and be carried by water currents to reach stigmas. Ornithophilous plants are bird-pollinated, entomophilous are insect-pollinated, and anemophilous are wind-pollinated.
