Correct Answer: attract insects


Solution : The correct option is to attract insects.

Flowers release fragrance to attract pollinators, which are primarily insects. Particularly for moth-pollinated flowers, which are found and visited at night, the smell plays a significant role in the location and selection of flowers by insects. Flowers pollinated by bees and flies have sweet fragrances, while flowers pollinated by beetles have intense musty, spicy, or fruity smells.
