SEED PROPAGATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
My pod splits open and seeds are thrown out with a force. What is likely my dispersal method?
A
wind
B
water
C
animals
D
explosive action
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of this the force is imported which helps in the the movement of the seed.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus. These modes are typically inferred based on adaptations, such as wings or fleshy fruit.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants like cucumber or peas have their seeds stored in pods. These pods can explode or burst and the contained seeds are blown away far from the plant, thus getting dispersed. The explosion of the pods causes the seeds to shoot around and spread in all directions.
