Solution

The correct option is C Hooks
The hooks or teeth generally cause irritation, and some species commonly cause gross injury to animals. Plants with burs rely largely on living agents to disperse their seeds their burs are mechanisms of seed dispersal by epizoochory. Hooks form an important adaption for facilitating dispersal by animals. Plants that have hooks to effect zoochory include Xanthium, Arctium, Medicago, Geum, Emex, Tribulus, etc.
So the correct answer is 'Hooks'.
