The correct answer is: (Choice B) Blue-flowered plants will become less common.
With the decrease in the bee population, blue-flowered plants, which rely on bees for pollination, will have a harder time reproducing and spreading their genes. This will lead to a decline in the number of blue-flowered plants in the population. Red-flowered plants, on the other hand, which are pollinated by hummingbirds, will not be as affected by the decrease in bees and may even become more common in comparison to the blue-flowered plants.
In a population of plants, individuals can have either red or blue flowers. Red flowers tend to be pollinated by hummingbirds. Blue flowers tend to be pollinated by bees.
