Solution

The correct option is B Petals
The petals in most flowering plants are meant to attract insects such as bees, moths and butterflies in order to encourage pollination. Petals also attract other pollinators such as hummingbirds and bats. The brightly coloured hues of petals stand out in the surroundings like advertising boards which attract these pollinators.
