Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

In a mutualistic relationship, both species depend on each other. If the pollinator becomes extinct, the plant loses its specific pollination partner.

This can lead to complete failure of pollination, especially if no alternative pollinator exists.
