Solution

The correct option is C
Brightly coloured and showy petals

The flowers of plants that are pollinated by wind are usually small and lack bright colours as they do not have to attract their pollinators. The flowers of the plants that are pollinated by birds and insects are brightly coloured and contain large amount of nectar to attract their pollinators.
