Solution
The correct option is C Water
Seeds dispersed by water are contained in light and buoyant fruit, giving them the ability to float. Coconuts are well known for their ability to float on water to reach the land where they can germinate. The coconut seed is especially well adapted to increase its range by the method of ocean dispersal. The seed floats when its outer layers dry out. The buoyant coconuts drift on ocean currents and end up on tropical beaches where they germinate and take root.So the correct answer is 'Water'.
