Solution
The correct option is A Forced zoochory
Compensated zoochory is a type of zoochory in which fruits possess edible pulp. Such fruits are eaten by animals or man and seeds are dispersed.
Fruits dispersed by hydrochory possess fibrous and buoyant coats which enable them to float on water. Such fruits do not possess any outgrowths.
Anemochory is seed or fruit dispersal by wind. Such fruits have some morphological characteristics as wings, hairs. Wings and hairs do not make fruits or seeds sticky.
Seeds or fruits which are dispersed by forced zoochory possess non-edible pulp. Hence, such fruits should produce some outgrowths as hooks, spines which stick to animal body and are thus dispersed different places.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
