Question

read the text.
some flowering plants adjust their scents to aid in survival. for example, the brassica rapa plant in the turnip family has a floral fragrance that helps the plant attract pollinators. as a consequence, the plant attracts caterpillars that feed on it as well. if a caterpillar infestation occurs, the turnip plant decreases its floral scent using special scent signals in its leaves. a decrease in floral fragrance results in the plant becoming more attractive to parasitic wasps. these wasps kill the caterpillars, helping the plant to survive.
