Answer 1

The correct option is D The statement is incorrect

Seeds dispersed by water are contained in light and buoyant fruit, giving them the ability to float. Coconuts are well known for their ability to float on water to reach the land where they can germinate. Here a fibrous outer covering feature helps a coconut fruit to float in water and coconut is huge and also heavy fruit. It adapted for dispersal by water. Coconut which falls forms the coconut palm which solid outer shell with coconut will float for some time.

So the correct answer is 'The statement is incorrect'.
