The flowers in Salvia are arranged in verticellaster inflorescence.
They are attractive and well adapted for cross-pollination through the agency of insects.
These flowers show a lever mechanism in which the corolla has a spreading upper lip. and a lower lip. These flowers have long bifurcated connectives.
When the insects land on the lower lip of the corolla to obtain the nectar it pushes the sterile lobes of the stamen inwards. Hence the anther lobes come down and shed the pollen on the back of the insect.This results in its pollination.

Thus the correct answer is option C.
