(b) A flower may have either male or female reproductive parts. Such a flower is called a unisexual flower.
(c) The transfer of pollen grains from the anther to the stigma of the same or of another flower of the same kind is known as pollination.
(d) The fusion of male and female gametes is termed fertilization.

Explanation:
Vegetative propagation is an asexual method of reproduction in which plants can grow and reproduce from stems, roots, and leaves.
New plants can grow from the detached parts (stems, roots, and leaves) of the plant because it has sufficient cells to divide and produce a new individual.
Cutting and grafting are two different methods of vegetative propagation.
Seed dispersal is the dispersion or movement or spreading of seeds away from the site of origin or parent plant. It can be done in different modes, such as:
(i) Biotic agents: Birds and animals.
(ii) Abiotic agents: Gravity, wind, ballistic, water.
