Solution

The correct option is D Calotropis
Certain seeds and a few fruits are provided with appendages which act like parachutes in helping them to float in air. 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).
