Read the excerpt from the article Amazing Plants:

Is that a bee? No! It's just an orchid with a very clever disguise. The bee orchid's flowers have evolved to look just like the bees that pollinate them. Thinking they are approaching another bee, the insects land on the flowers and become covered in pollen, which they can then carry to the next flower.

What does the phrase clever disguise suggest about the bee orchid?


It is unsuccessful at mimicking something else to get what it wants.

It changes its shape when bees come by in order to attract them.

It successfully resembles something else in order to get what it wants.

It works hard to develop new disguises to attract other bee orchids.
