Solution
The correct option is B Nectar, nectaries
Plant honey is secreted by nectaries. Nectar is a sugar-rich liquid produced by plants in glands called as nectaries, either within the flowers with which it attracts pollinating animals or by extrafloral nectaries, which provide a nutrient source to animal mutualists, which in turn provide anti-herbivore protection.
Common nectar-consuming pollinators include bees, butterflies and moths, hummingbirds, and bats.
