Solution

The correct option is D The weight of the flower
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male part of a flower to the female part of a flower. Many agents like water, wind, and insects help in this process. Flowers which are pollinated by insects, are generally fragrant and brightly coloured to attract insects. Not only that, flowers in general show great diversity in their shape to perfectly accommodate and facilitate pollen transfer by wide variety of pollinators.
