D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fruits taste sweet because they are full of sugar. The plant fills them with sugar so that animals will eat them. Inside the fruit are the plant’s seeds. When an animal eats the fruit, the seeds are not digested along with the rest of the fruit, but instead pass out of the animal’s body unharmed.

Detailed explanation-2: -Learning Outcomes. The fruit has a single purpose: seed dispersal. Seeds contained within fruits need to be dispersed far from the mother plant, so they may find favorable and less competitive conditions in which to germinate and grow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animals help in pollination and seed dispersal. Animals disperse seeds by carryng them on their body or by eating the fruit of a plant and disposing the seeds at some other location as they move.
