Solution

The correct option is B Seed hair
Cotton, seed-hair fibre of a variety of plants of the genus Gossypium, belonging to the hibiscus or mallow, family (Malvaceae) and native to most subtropical parts of the world. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will tend to increase the dispersion of the seeds. Thus, option B is correct.
