Solution

The correct option is A - Xanthium and urena.

Seed Dispersal is an adaptive mechanism in all seed-bearing plants, participating in the movement or transport of seeds away from their parent plant to ensure the germination and survival of some of the seeds to adult plants. There are many vectors to transport the seed from one place to another.

The seeds of the fruits get dispersed by different methods. Xanthium and Urena are the plants in which the fruits produces seeds having structures like spines or hooks. These structures are used for clinging the seeds on the body of the animals and get carried away with them and get dispersed.


Thus, the correct answer is option A.
