Solution

The correct option is D Xanthium
Seeds are spread through various agents like animals, air, water, birds, etc. The seeds which travel through the air are light in weight and have thin hairs. The example includes cottonseed. Some seeds stick on the fur of the animals and travel to other places. The example includes Xanthium.

Xanthium seeds have stiff hooked spines which stick to the fur of the animal and scatter.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
