To ensure that only the desired pollens fall on the stigma in artificial hybridization process :
(a) the female flower buds of plant producing unisexual flower need not be bagged.
(b) there is no need to emasculate unisexual flowers of selected female parent
(c) emasculated flowers are to be bagged immediately after cross pollination
(d) emasculated flowers are to be bagged after removal of anthers
(e) bisexual flowers, showing protogyny are never selected for cross

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
1. (a), (b) and (c) only 2. (b), (c) and (d) only
3. (b), (c) and (e) only 4. (a), (d) and (e) only
