Solution

The correct option is B water
Seeds with fibrous outer covering are dispersed by water. They are usually light weight. They contain empty spaces which are filled with air, e.g., coconut. Here the entire fruit floats on water and moves from one place to another. Upon reaching the ground it germinates.
