Pollen grains can be stored for several years in liquid nitrogen having a temperature of
  1. -196oC
  2. -80oC
  3. -120oC
  4. -160oC

Solution

Storing pollen grains in -196oC in liquid nitrogen is called cryopreservation.
It is a process where organelles, cells, tissues, extracellular matrix, organs or any other biological constructs susceptible to damage caused by unregulated chemical kinetics are preserved by cooling to very low temperatures.
