    Solution

    The sentence talks about insects, like bees, using the food obtained by plants in the form of nectar and pollen. The highlighted words are incorrectly used as they fail to make the sentence coherent; perturbed - feeling anxiety or concern; unsettled. A is incorrect as the first word does not fit in the context; incriminating - making someone appear guilty of a crime or wrongdoing. B is incorrect as the second word does not fit in the context - plants cannot 'state'. C is incorrect for the same reason as A. D is correct as both the words fit in the given context and also make the sentence meaningful. D is the right answer.
