Question

how are the seeds of a plant spread around? (1 point)
the wind carries the fruit long distances. this spreads the seeds around.
bees are attracted to the fruit flowers make. they spread the seeds around through contact with them.
animals are attracted to the fruit flowers make. they eat the fruit, and this spreads the seeds around.
insects carry the fruit long distances. this spreads the seeds around.

Explanation:

To determine how plant seeds are spread, we analyze each option:

• Wind carrying fruit long distances is less common for seed dispersal (wind usually spreads light seeds like dandelions, not whole fruits).
• Bees mainly aid in pollination, not seed dispersal through contact with seeds.
• Animals eating fruit and excreting seeds (or carrying them) is a common seed - dispersal method (e.g., birds eating berries and spreading seeds).
• Insects are too small to carry fruits long distances for seed dispersal.

So the correct option is the one about animals being attracted to fruit, eating it, and spreading seeds.

Answer:

C. Animals are attracted to the fruit flowers make. They eat the fruit, and this spreads the seeds around. (assuming the third option is labeled C; if the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly. Based on the order, the third option is the correct one.)
