Solution
The correct option is B Tagetes
In seeds or achenes (one-seeded fruits) with an elevated, umbrella-like crown of intricately-branched hairs at the top, slight wind catches the hairs, raising and propelling the seed into the air like a parachute. This dispersal mechanism is known as parachute method of dispersal. This is the classic mechanism of dispersal for the Eurasian dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) and members of the sunflower family Asteraceae.
So, the correct answer is 'Tagetes'
