Solution
The correct option is B Plumbago
Some seeds and fruits are adapted to stick to the fur or feathers (or clothing!) of unsuspecting animals; when the animal finally frees itself of its clingy passenger, the seed/fruit is usually far away from where it started. Some fruits like those of Boerhaavia, Cleome, and Plumbago have sticky glands by which they adhere to the fur of grazing animals and are thus dispersed. So the correct answer is 'Plumbago'.
