Solution

The correct option is D Sticky glands
Spreading of seeds and fruits away from parents so as to settle where conditions are suitable for their germination. Some fruits like those of Boerhaavia, Cleome, and Plumbago have sticky glands by which they adhere to the fur of grazing animals and are thus dispersed.
So the correct answer is 'Sticky glands'.
