Solution

The correct option is A

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 humming birds and bats. The brightly coloured hues of petals stand out in the surroundings like advertising boards which attract these pollinators.
