Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Poliination by bats is termd as Cheiropterophilly.
The pollination of plants by bats is called chiropterophily. Plants pollinated by bats often have pale nocturnal flowers (in contrast, bees are most attracted to bright, daytime flowers).
These flowers are often large and bell-shaped, and some bats have evolved specifically to reach the nectar at the bottom of them.
