Correct:
B
Explanation
The relationship between a flower and a honey-bee is a classic example of mutualism, a symbiotic interaction where both organisms benefit. The honey-bee visits flowers to collect nectar and pollen for nutrition. During this process, pollen grains from the male part of the flower (anther) stick to the bee's body.
- Pollination: As the bee moves from one flower to another, it transfers these pollen grains to the female part (stigma) of the same or another flower. This process is known as pollination.
- Pollination is a critical step in the reproductive cycle of flowering plants, as it leads to fertilization, seed formation, and fruit production.
While the bee obtains food, the flower relies on the bee as a biotic agent for reproduction. Thus, the interaction primarily helps the flower in pollination, confirming Option B as the correct answer.
