Solution
The correct option is A Forced zoochory Some plants have sticky, gland tipped hairs on their flower calyx. The seed capsule is sticky which helps disperse the seed by attaching to animals. The top of the capsule splits opens and drops the seed out. This mechanism of seed dispersal is known as forced zoochory. e.g., Plumbago, Boerhaavia.
