The reason is to help in seed dispersal. Seed dispersal is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Due to the fact that plants have very limited mobility they have to rely upon variety of dispersal; vectors to transport their seeds, including both abiotic and biotic factors. Seed dispersal is important because if seed are not dispersed, many germinating seedlings will grow very close to the parent plant which would result to competition between every one of the seedlings as well as the parent. The competition for essential growth factors such as light, space, water and nutrients.

Answer: B
WHY?
Deletion mutation may cause a shift of base sequence, causing the reading frames for base sequence to change during translation. This may affect the type of amino acid it the original base sequence codes for, resulting in a change in amino acid sequence in the polypeptide translated. Therefore, affecting the whole protein itself. There may be wrong amino acids that prevents vital bonds like disulfide bridges to form, resulting in a huge change in 3 dimensional conformation of the protein. A point mutation may result in a gene sequence being edited. However, only the target sequence is being mutated. The rest of the gene sequences are left untouched. Therefore, the impact is localised. This ensures that even though a few wrong amino acids may be in the polyleptide, most of the bonds that are crucial for the correct 3 dimensional conformation is still present, therefore, lesser defects will be resulted due to point mutation as compared to deletion mutation.
The answer to this question would be C.

Cells are the basic building blocks of life.
