Question

multiple choice question
the dispersal of seeds far from the parent plant minimizes
competition.
lateral bud formation.
seed germination.
embryonic development.

Explanation:

Seed dispersal is a biological process. When seeds are spread far from the parent plant, it reduces the competition for resources (like sunlight, water, nutrients) between the parent plant and its offspring. Lateral bud formation is related to plant growth structure, seed germination is the process of a seed starting to grow, and embryonic development is about the early - stage development of the plant embryo. None of these are minimized by seed dispersal as directly as competition.

Answer:

competition.
