The correct answer is:

Species-specific coevolution occurs when two species evolve together very closely and depend specifically on each other.

• Fig and fig wasp → another well-known species-specific coevolution example.

• Hydrilla is mainly water-pollinated, so it is not species-specific with a pollinator.
