The correct answer is: The benefits of pollination are argued as a reason through the narrowly utilitarian approach.
The broadly utilitarian argument says that biodiversity plays a major role in many ecosystem services that nature provides. Pollination (without which plants cannot give us fruits or seeds) is another service, ecosystems provide through pollinators layer – bees, bumblebees, birds and bats.
