Solution
The correct option is A Birds Birds are the most effective seed dispersers of all animals due to their ability to traverse vast distances in short periods of time. The most well-known method by which birds disperse seeds is through eating juicy fruits, such as berries. The bird digests the fleshy part of the fruit and then defecates the seeds out at a different location far from the parent tree.
