- DAnthocephalous, Kigelia, Bombax.
Correct answer
A. Bombax, Callistemon, Butea.
Step-by-step solution
Ornithophily refers to the pollination of flowers by birds. Plants that exhibit ornithophily typically have brightly coloured, tubular flowers with abundant nectar to attract birds.
Examples of ornithophilous plants include Bombax (silk cotton tree), Callistemon (bottle brush), and Butea (flame of the forest).
Adansonia, Anthocephalous, and Kigelia are examples of plants that exhibit chiropterophily, which is pollination by bats.
Answer: Bombax, Callistemon, Butea.
