The correct answer is: b) There are a diverse array of flower shapes and colors, largely related to the mode of pollination.

Angiosperms or flowering plants are plants with characteristic feature called flower. The main function of this plant structure is to ensure fertilization and development of fruit containing seeds. Flowers need to attract pollinators by their color, scent, and nectar (secreted in some part of the flower).
