Answer 1

The correct option is D A - IV, B - II, C - I, D - III

Seed dispersal is an adaptive mechanism in all seed-bearing plants that transports seeds away from their parent plant to ensure the germination and survival of some of the seeds to adult plants.

1. The seeds of cherry trees are usually dispersed by animals.
2. The seeds of coconut trees are dispersed by water.
3. The seeds of the swan plant are dispersed by wind.
4. The seeds of pea plant are dispersed due to the explosion of the fruit.
