The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the type of pollination exhibited by brightly colored and scented flowers. 2. **Identifying Key Characteristics**: Bright colors and scents are typically adaptations that help attract pollinators, particularly insects. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Entomophily**: This term refers to pollination by insects. Since brightly colored and scented flowers attract insects, this option seems likely. - **Malacophily**: This refers to pollination by snails, which is not relevant to brightly colored and scented flowers. - **Myrmecophily**: This is a mutualistic relationship between ants and flowers, which does not specifically relate to the characteristics mentioned. - **Chiropterophily**: This type of pollination involves bats, which is also not relevant to the characteristics of brightly colored and scented flowers. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Entomophily**, as it directly relates to the attraction of insects to brightly colored and scented flowers for pollination. **Final Answer**: Brightly colored scented flowers generally show **Entomophily**. ---
