The correct answer is A. Dandelion, because it is wind-pollinated.

This would spark her allergies unlike cherry and blackberry because those two don't spread pollen that can be inhaled easily and is dangerous for allergies.

Answer:

Option A, Dandelion, because it is wind-pollinated

Explanation:

Pollens which are  small, light and dry are easily carried away by winds. Large sticky  pollens are carried by insects and not by winds.  

Dandelion is a ragweed which is able to produce billion grains of pollen during one season and these pollens can easily trigger common allergies.  

Dandelion pollens become airborne since they can be easily carried away by the wind and thus these can be easily inhaled by a person allergic to it.  

Therefore, Kim should not plant Dandelion in her garden
