Solution

The correct option is C Xanthium
The surface of many fruits is covered with hooks (e.g., Xanthium, Urena), barbs (e.g., Andropogon), spines (e.g., Tribulus), bristles (e.g., Pupalia), or stiff hairs (e.g., Aristida), by means of which they adhere to the body of animals or clothes of human beings and them are carried unwarily from one place to another.
So the correct answer is 'Xanthium'.
