Solution

The correct option is C Dandelion : Water
Dandelions have light-weighted seeds with feathery projections, so these are mainly dispersed by the wind. On the other hand, lotus seeds are mainly dispersed by water. Seeds of mangoes are mainly dispersed when they fall from the tree due to gravity and also by the animals. Animals like rats, squirrels and humans are one of the major reasons for the dispersion of seeds that they eat.
