Petals d. serve to attract animals to collect and disperse pollen.

Explanation:

Petals serve to attract animals to collect and disperse pollen. This is because petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers protecting them. They have super bright colors and different shapes so they attract pollinators and animals. Petals have different functions depending the type of plant repelling or attracting specific pollinators.
