Solution
The correct option is B Censor mechanism
Seeds are specially adapted for their dispersal by wind (anemochory). These seeds that are dispersed by wind are light so that their buoyancy will enable them to float for a longer duration. Other methods of wind dispersal include censor mechanism - wherein the seeds are discharged through small apertures that are opened by porous dehiscence of the fruit and the capsule swings in the air to disperse the seeds. e.g., sunflower, poppy and Argemone mexicana. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
