Solution

The correct option is C Ophrys and bee
Sexual deceit is the mechanism in which one petal of flower bears an uncanny resemblance to the female of the pollinating insects in size, colour and markings. The Mediterranean orchid Ophrys employs ‘sexual deceit’ to get pollination done by a species of bee.
