Solution
The correct option is B explosion Plants like cucumber or peas have their seeds stored in pods. These pods can explode or burst and the contained seeds are blown away far from the plant, thus getting dispersed. The explosion of the pods causes the seeds to shoot around and spread in all directions. This is a type of self-dispersal of seeds by plants.
