Solution

The correct option is B Carrion flies
Pollination helps in the dispersal of pollens which ultimately fuses with ovules. Rafflesia flowers are the largest one with an aroma which attracts carrion flies for pollination. The carrion flies are a parasite of elephants and but the pollinating agents are the flies, not the elephants.
So, the correct answer is option A.
