Question

Some plant seeds have special spiky barbs that can easily get tangled in an animal's fur.The spiky structure of these seeds most likely benefits a plant by A. keeping animals far away from the parent plant. B. attracting pollinators with their bright color and fruity smell. C. helping the seeds to be scattered in new areas to grow. D. keeping the seeds from being moved away from the parent plant.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. helping the seeds to be scattered in new areas to grow.

Explanation:

Seed dispersal by animals is a method of seed dispersal that can be aided by seeds whose sticky structures enable them to be tangled to the fur of animals, who carry these seeds and dispersed them to areas even far away from the parent plant. Special spiky structure of seeds is most beneficial to a plant in the process of seed dispersal, as it aids the dispersal of seeds in new areas to grow.
