• The process of pollination takes place with the help of biotic and abiotic agents.
• The abiotic agents are wind and water while biotic agents are insects, bats, birds, snails, etc. Fruits are produced after fertilisation.
• Thus, plants can produce fruits with the help of insects as they are pollinators.

So, the correct answer is option B.
