Biology
Bright, showy and nectar producing flowers are needed for pollination to occur by:
- Wind
- Water
- Insects
- Elephant
Answer
Insects
Reason — Bright, showy and nectar producing flowers attract insects.
Wind-pollinated flowers are small, non-attractive, without nectar. Water-pollinated flowers are non-attractive, lack nectar. Elephants may rarely act as pollinating agents in flowers such as Rafflesia, but bright, showy and nectar-producing flowers are typically insect-pollinated.
