Solution

The correct option is A Samara
Samara are winged, dry and indehiscent fruits. The wing is modified pericarp that helps in seed dispersal by wind.
Cypsela is an indehiscent fruit that produces apical hair like processes called pappus for seed dispersal by wind.
Siliqua and Regma donot produce special structures for seed dispersal.
So, the correct answer is 'Samara'.
