Answer
A is true but R is false.
Reason — A is true as Cross-pollination means transfer of pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of a flower on another plant of the same species. This transfer is helped by agents called pollinating agents such as wind, water, insects, etc.
R is false as wind can carry pollen to nearby plants, and sometimes to plants located far away. So wind pollination is not restricted only to nearby plants.
Therefore, A is true but R is false is the correct option.
