Solution

The correct option is B Siphoning
Moths and butterflies have siphoning mouth parts. This type of mouthparts are an adaptation to draw nectar from long-throated flower. The tongue is actually a tube and is able to extend and siphon nectar or water into the fly's digestive system.
So, option B is the correct option.
