Which of the following is not an asexual form of reproduction in plants ?

Pollination

The correct answer is Option (4) – Pollination

Pollination is not an asexual form of reproduction in plants.

Pollination is the process by which pollen grains are transferred from the male reproductive organs (anthers) to the female reproductive organs (stigma) of flowers, leading to fertilization and the production of seeds. Unlike asexual forms of reproduction such as spore formation, vegetative propagation, and budding, which involve the propagation of offspring without the involvement of gametes (sex cells) and genetic recombination, pollination relies on the fusion of male and female gametes to produce genetically diverse offspring. Therefore, pollination is a sexual form of reproduction in plants.
