Solution
The correct option is D Anemochory
Anemochory is the wind dispersal of fruits and seeds. The wind blows them away and for this, they have to be light, so that their buoyancy may enable them to float on air over long distances. Some of them are provided with hairs and membranous wing-like structures, which enable them to be carried away easily. e.g. Seeds dispersed by wind are Calotropis (Erukkum), Moringa (drumsticks) etc.
