Concept:Brightly coloured petals are a floral adaptation used to attract animal pollinators.
Explanation:Flowers rely on external agents to transfer pollen grains.
Colourful petals act as visual signals that stand out against green leaves.
Insects such as bees and butterflies, and birds such as sunbirds, are drawn to these colours.
As the visitors collect nectar or feed on the flower, pollen sticks to their bodies.
When they move to another flower of the same species, the pollen is deposited on the stigma.
This transfer of pollen from anther to stigma is known as pollination.
The appearance of bright petals is therefore a reproductive strategy.
It does not directly help the plant feed, disperse seeds, or shed leaves.
Answer:B. pollination
