Why do plants make and spread seeds?
A
to create food for animals
B
to drink up the nutrients
C
to make more plants
D
to make food
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is important because if the seeds are not dispersed, many germinating seedlings will grow very close to the parent plant. This results in competition between every one of the seedlings as well as with the parent plant. The competition is for light, space, water and nutrients.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dispersal of seeds is very important for the survival of plant species. If plants grow too closely together, they have to compete for light, water and nutrients from the soil. Seed dispersal allows plants to spread out from a wide area and avoid competing with one another for the same resources.

Detailed explanation-3: -Seed dispersal is the mechanism by which plant seeds are transported to new sites for germination and the establishment of new individuals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seed dispersal promotes the survival of plant species. It allows plants to unfold in an extensive area. Thus, preventing plants from competing for light, water, and nutrients from the soil, which occurs when plants grow closer to each other.
