Final answer:
Plants typically dispersed by animals include watermelons, oaks, thistles, and strawberries, as their seeds are distributed either through animal feces or by clinging to animal fur.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is about seed dispersal, particularly the types of plants typically dispersed by animals. The correct answer is c) watermelons, oaks, thistles and strawberries. These plants produce fruits or seeds that either are eaten by animals, with the seeds later excreted and dispersed (endozoochory), or have structures that allow them to cling to animals' fur or feathers (epizoochory). Watermelons have seeds that can be eaten and later excreted by animals, oaks produce acorns that animals like squirrels may cache and forget, and thistles and strawberries have features that can attach to animals' fur for dispersal. In contrast, plants like dandelions, grasses, and pines use wind for dispersal, while coconut palms and mangroves rely on water.
