Complimentary adaptations refer to traits that appear to be designed to specifically interact with another trait of a different species. In this case, option B describes this scenario, plants with long tube flowers attract hummingbirds with long, neddle-like beaks. The long beak of the bird is ideal to get the nectar from the long tube flowers.
