Solution

The correct option is C Mutualism
Flowers which are pollinated by insects are called insect pollinated flowers. In this type of pollination, the insects suck nectar from the flower. In turn, they take away their pollen grains and deposit them over other flower's stigma. Thus, both the plants and insects are mutually benefited and the interaction is called mutualism.
So, option C is the correct answer.
