The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the color of the Bougainvillea flower and what specifically contributes to that color. 2. **Identifying the Flower Structure**: Bougainvillea flowers do not have a distinct corolla (the petals of a flower) or calyx (the outer part of the flower, typically green). Instead, they have structures that are often mistaken for petals. 3. **Recognizing the Role of Bracts**: The bright colors of Bougainvillea flowers are actually due to the bracts, which are modified leaves that surround the tiny actual flowers. 4. **Function of Bracts**: The bracts serve two main purposes: they protect the flowers and attract pollinators with their vibrant colors. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the color of the Bougainvillea flower is due to the color of its bracts. **Final Answer**: The color of Bougainvillea flower is due to the color of its bracts. ---
