Solution

The correct option is A Salvia

In Salvia, pollination is entomophilous, which means it occurs by insects. Pollination occurs by the lever or turns pipe mechanism. The petals of the Salvia are bifurcated. When the insect visits some flower and sits on the petals, then the stamens are brought down to the touch the back of insect and pollen are laden on it.

When the insect visits another flower, cross-pollination occurs.

Thus, the correct answer is A.
