Solution

The correct option is D Winged fruits and seeds
Winged fruits and seeds are not associated with parachute mechanism.
In this mechanism, an individual parachute shows an umbrella-like, plumose crown of hairs (pappus) above a slender one-seeded fruit (called as an achene). These fragile units can become airborne with the slightest gust of wind and can literally sail across valleys and over mountain slopes.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
