Identify the Incorrect statement related to pollination:

Concept:  Pollination is defined as the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of a flower to the stigma of a pistil.

Explanation:

Option 1: 

• Among insects, bees are the primary dominant pollinating agents and not the moths and butterflies.
• Therefore, the first option is an incorrect statement.

Option 2: 

• Pollination by water is quite rare in flowering plants and is limited to about 30 genera, mostly monocotyledons.
• This statement is correct.

Option 3:  

• Pollination by wind is more common among abiotic pollinations. 
• Wind pollination is supported by light and non-sticky pollen grains.
• It helps the pollen to get transported in wind currents.
• They often have well-exposed stamens so that the pollens are easily dispersed into wind currents.  
• This statement is correct.

Option 4: 

• The flowers pollinated by flies and beetles secrete foul odors to attract these animals.  This statement is correct.

So, the correct answer is option 1.

Additional Information

• The majority of insect-pollinated flowers are large, colorful, fragrant, and rich in nectar.
• The majority of flowering plants use a range of animals as pollinating agents. Bees, butterflies, flies, beetles, wasps, ants, moths, birds (sunbirds and hummingbirds), and bats are the common pollinating agents.
