An indoor plant produced brightly coloured flowers. But none of the flowers produced seeds. It was found out that the seeds were not being produced due to the lack of natural pollinators. So, it was decided to put the plant outdoors to attract pollinators. Which of the following do you think would be the most probable pollinator for the plant?

The correct option is D Honeybee
Different flowers have different pollinating agents. Depending on the characteristics of the flower and pollen the plant produces, different pollinating agents help in their dispersal. The wind is the pollinating agent for flowers which produces lightweight pollen. Flowers with bright coloured petals attract insects pollinators like bees and butterflies. Moths are nocturnal that is they are active in the night. Hence they help in the pollination of flowers that bloom in the night. Such flowers are mostly white in colour and heavily scented. Aquatic plants are mostly pollinated by water.
