Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of evolutionary biology, coevolution refers to the evolution of at least two species, which occurs in a mutually dependent manner. ... An example is the coevolution of flowering plants and associated pollinators (e.g., bees, birds, and other insect species)
