Solution
The correct option is D Wind Lightweight, small and dry seeds get dispersed by the wind. The seeds are simply blown away by the wind 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 the wind.
