Answer 1

A flower shows dull colour, strong fragrance and edible pollen grains. The type of pollination in such flowers is Chiropterophily.

Explanation:

The flower described features edible pollen grains, a strong scent, and a dark colour. Usually, bat pollination (chiropterophily) is linked to these traits. Since bats are nocturnal pollinators, flowers that appeal to them at night need to have a potent scent rather than vibrant colours.
