Attractants and rewards are required for

D VINOD · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Pollination mechanisms
 **Related Topics**: Plant reproduction, floral biology, animal-plant interactions
 **Prerequisites**: Understanding of different pollination methods
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
The question asks about the pollination methods that require attractants and rewards.
**Method & Steps**:
1. Analyze each pollination method:
  Reasoning: We need to determine which pollination methods rely on attracting and rewarding pollinators.
  Formula/Rule: None directly applicable, but understanding of the mechanisms is key.
2. Evaluate each option:
  Working:
		* Cleistogamy: Self-pollination within a closed flower; no need for attractants or rewards.
		* Anemophily: Wind pollination; no need to attract pollinators, hence no attractants or rewards.
		* Entomophily: Insect pollination; insects are attracted to flowers using visual cues (color, shape), scent, and nectar/pollen (rewards).
		* Hydrophily: Water pollination; no attractants or rewards needed.
 3. Identify the correct option:
  Result: Entomophily is the only option that requires attractants (visual cues, scent) and rewards (nectar, pollen) to attract and reward pollinators.
  Verification: The definition of entomophily confirms the need for attractants and rewards.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Cleistogamy is self-pollination, eliminating the need for attractants or rewards.
B :x: Anemophily (wind pollination) doesn't require attractants or rewards.
C ✓: Entomophily (insect pollination) relies on attractants (like scent and color) and rewards (like nectar) to lure pollinators.
D :x: Hydrophily (water pollination) doesn't utilize attractants or rewards in the same way as entomophily.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**: Confusing the different pollination methods and their mechanisms.
  How to avoid: Thoroughly understand the characteristics of each pollination type (cleistogamy, anemophily, entomophily, hydrophily).
 **Quick Tips**: Remember that entomophily involves attracting and rewarding insects, hence the need for attractants and rewards.
