Solution

The correct option is C

A and R both are true.


Agents that help in the transfer of pollen from the anther to stigma is called pollinating agent. Moths are nocturnal insects or they are active at night and they act as pollinating agents for flowers that bloom at night. Birds and honeybees are active only during the daytime so they cannot be the possible pollinating agents for such flowers.
