Solution
The correct option is A Momordica
In fruits such as Impatiens parviflora, Oxalis acetosella, Ecballium elaterium, turgor pressure is the method by which seeds are dispersed. In Ecballium elaterium, or squirting cucumber, turgor pressure builds up in the fruit to the point that aggressively detaches from the stalk, and seeds and water are squirted everywhere as the fruit falls to the ground.Hence , the correct answer is (D)
