Solution
The correct option is B Yucca The Yucca plant and the yucca moth share a mutually beneficial relationship, each dependent on the other for survival.
The moth’s larvae depend on the seeds of the yucca plant for food, and the Yucca plant can only be pollinated by the yucca moth.
Banana, Hydrilla and Viola plants are not known to share such mutualistic relationship with any moth species.
