Solution

The correct option is A Commelina
Even in absence of pollinating agents, seed setting is assured in Commelina, which is also called as 'Asiatic dayflower'. They lack nectar, they offer only pollen as a reward to their visitors. To attract pollinators, the plant has three types of brightly coloured floral organs: the large blue petals, fertile yellow anthers and infertile yellow antherodes that lack pollen.
