Solution

The correct option is D All of the above
  • Balsam fruit is composed of pod-like structures. The castor fruit is spherical in shape.
  • On maturity, these fruits dry out and open up. The breaking of the fruits causes an explosion which results in the seeds scattering and disperse.
  • Cotton seeds have hairs over the seeds which help them to be carried away by the wind.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
