Why do fruits taste sweet?
A
So people buy them
B
So animals eat them and disperse the seeds inside
C
Insects are attracted to them
D
So they will grow better
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: -One of the significant ways that animals disperse plant seeds is by eating and pooing them out. Certain plant species, including many trees, enclose their seeds inside fleshy edible fruits that are appealing to hungry animals. These fruit-loving animals are called frugivores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants lure animals into dispersing their seeds by producing yummy nuts, fruits, and seeds for them to eat. Once the animal has eaten and digested the seeds, it will deposit them in its feces which will then begin the growth process for a brand-new plant, often at a great distance from the parent plant.
