What do pollinators want from flowers?
A
pollen
B
eggs
C
nectar
D
cake
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nectar is made as a reward for pollinators. They need the plants in order to survive because nectar is their food source. Not all plants produce nectar, only plants that are visited by animal-type pollinators.

Detailed explanation-2: -Many flowers use visual cues to attract pollinators: showy petals and sepals, nectar guides, shape, size, and color. Members of the lily family such as the trout lily have very showy sepals and petals that are indistinguishable and are technically called tepals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Summary: Bees collect nectar just to obtain and store food. Most of these nectar collected are consumed by bee colonies, The rest of the honey produced by worker bees is stored in the hive, which means that the bee harvesting of honey is an instinct-driven foraging behavior.
