animals
B
wind
C
water
D
volcanos
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mosses disperse their spores from a capsule that often is elevated above the shoot by a seta (capsule and seta together make up the sporophyte) anchored to the top of the moss shoot in cushion growing species or along the shoot in mat-growing species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mosses and liverworts are small, primitive, non-vascular plants. They lack the conductive tissue most plants use to transport water and nutrients. Instead, moisture is absorbed directly into cells by osmosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mosses don’t make flowers or seeds, instead they reproduce with single-celled spores that require water to grow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Moss spores are produced from the sporophyte. The sporophyte contains three structures including a foot to attach it to a gametophyte where water and nutrients are stored, a seta which is the long stalk, and a capsule shaped like a pod that produces spores.
