The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** - The question asks about the adaptation of fragrant flowers with well-developed nectaries. We need to identify the type of pollination these flowers are adapted for. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Hydrophilic:** This refers to pollination by water. Flowers that rely on water for pollination do not need fragrance or nectar to attract pollinators. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Anemophilic:** This refers to pollination by wind. Similar to hydrophilic, wind-pollinated flowers do not require fragrance or nectar to attract pollinators. Thus, this option is also incorrect. - **Entomophilic:** This refers to pollination by insects. Flowers that are adapted for insect pollination often produce pleasant fragrances and have well-developed nectaries to attract insects. This aligns with the characteristics described in the question. - **Nanophilic:** This term is not commonly used in the context of pollination and does not refer to a specific type of pollination. Therefore, this option is not applicable. 3. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Entomophilic** (pollination by insects), as fragrant flowers with well-developed nectaries are adaptations to attract insects for pollination. **Final Answer:** Entomophilic ---
