Solution
The correct option is A Bats
Sausage trees are native to Africa. The flowers are visited at night in their habitat by nectar feeding bats. The fragrant, nectar rich blossoms are pollinated by bats, insects and sunbirds in their native habitat. During this visit the bats inadvertently pollinate the flowers by brushing against the stamens and getting pollen on their head. The pollen that is on the bat's head is then brushed onto the pistil of the next sausage tree flower that is visited.
