Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The study of external morphological features of mature pollen grains is referred to as polynology.

Different sculpturing patterns on the exine of pollen have proved of much taxonomic value.
They usually permit the assignment of an individual grain to the family, often to genus and rarely even to species.
