Answer 1

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Both statements are true. Xenogamy is pollination between flowers on different plants of the same species, while the reason lists possible agents of cross-pollination rather than explaining that definition.
