ANSWER: c. Transferring pollen between plants

Certain animals help carry pollen from the male to the female parts of plants, allowing them to reproduce. Three-quarters of flowering plants and more than a third of the world’s food crops depend on animal pollinators.

When hummingbirds drink from different flowers, pollen hitches a ride on their beaks and feathers. It’s a win for the hummingbird, the plant—and us! (www.fws.gov)
