The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Censer Mechanism**: The censer mechanism refers to a method of seed dispersal where seeds are released from the fruit when the plant is shaken or disturbed, often by wind. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides several options for how seed dispersal occurs in the censer mechanism: - Option 1: Birds - Option 2: Entangling of seeds to the skin of roaming animals - Option 3: Shaking by winds and floating on water 3. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Option 1 (Birds)**: This option suggests that birds are involved in the dispersal mechanism. However, this is not correct for the censer mechanism as it specifically involves the physical shaking of the plant. - **Option 2 (Entangling of seeds to skin of roaming animals)**: This option implies that seeds attach to animals for dispersal. This is also incorrect for the censer mechanism. - **Option 3 (Shaking by winds and floating on water)**: This option correctly describes the censer mechanism. The seeds are dispersed when the plant is shaken by wind, causing the fruits to release their seeds. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the correct answer is that in the censer mechanism, seed dispersal occurs through shaking by winds. **Final Answer**: Shaking by winds (Option 3). ---
