Solution
The correct option is BYucca The Yucca moth pollinates the Yucca plant. The moth and the shape of the flower have adapted to allow successful pollination of Yucca plant. The moth deposits pollen on the sticky stigma for fertilization to occur later. The female moth also deposits eggs. As the eggs develop into larvae, they obtain food from the flower and developing seeds. Resulting in both the insect and flower benefitting from each other in this symbiotic relationship.
