Solution

The correct option is B Wind

Lightweight, small and dry seeds get dispersed by wind. The seeds are simply blown away and land in all kinds of places. To help their chances that at least some of the seeds land in a place suitable for growth, these plants produce lots of seeds. E.g. Dandelion seeds are dispersed by wind.
