The plant called the scarlet gilia can have either red or white flowers. It
had long been thought that hummingbirds, which forage by day, pollinate its
red flowers and that hawkmoths, which forage at night, pollinate its white
flowers. To try to show that this pattern of pollination by colors exists,
scientists recently covered some scarlet gilia flowers only at night and
others only by day: plants with red flowers covered at night became pollinated;
plants with white flowers covered by day became pollinated.
Which of the following, if true, would be additional evidence to suggest that
hummingbirds are attracted to the red flowers and hwkmoths to the white flowers
of the scarlet gilia?
a. Uncovered scarlet gilia flowers, whether red or white, became pollinated at approximately equal rates.
b. Some red flowers of the scarlet gilia that remained uncovered at all times never became pollinated.
c. White flowers of the scarlet gilia that were covered at night became pollinated with greater frequency than white flowers of the scarlet gilia that were left uncovered.
d. Scarlet gilia plants with red flowers covered by day and scarlet gilia plants with white flowers covered at night remained unpollinated.
e. In late August, when most of the hummingbirds had migrated but hawkmoths were still plentiful, red scarlet gilia plants produced fruit more frequently than they had earlier in the season.
