Solution
The correct option is B Dispersal by water
∙ The seeds adapted to float on water are usually light. The outer covering of the seed has empty spaces filled with air and some are fibrous with air spaces that enclose the whole seed or fruit, for example, coconut.
∙ Seeds of aquatic plants that are heavy usually fall to the bottom of water sources and get carried by the flow of water, for example, seeds of lotus.
