Only C appears to be from the list.
The word should in the question appears dubious.
Explanation:
Moths and bats are active during the night
white or pale coloured so that moths see them easily at dusk.
These are heavy with fragrance. Often their scent becomes stronger in the evening and
have copious dilute nectar.
These flowers have long tubes, to accommodate the moths’ long tongues and exclude other insects.
Colours of flowers pollinated by moths are pale and dull red, purple, pink or white.
