Vedclass · Answer

(D) Autochory (dispersal by explosive mechanism) is the self-dispersal of seeds that occurs when the fruit splits open at maturity.In this mechanism,the fruit wall dries out and develops tension,causing it to burst with force and scatter the seeds in all directions.Plants such as $Barleria$,$Impatiens$,$Ruellia$,$Acanthus$,and $Phlox$ all exhibit this type of explosive seed dispersal mechanism.Therefore,the correct option is $D$.
