The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks for very small and light seeds that are dispersed by air. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** The options provided are: - Dust seeds - Winged seeds - Balloon seeds - Plumed seeds 3. **Evaluating Each Option:** - **Dust Seeds:** These seeds are very small and light, resembling dust particles. They can be easily dispersed by air and wind. Examples include seeds from the orchid and poppy plants. - **Winged Seeds:** These seeds have a wing-like structure that allows them to glide through the air. However, they are not classified as very small or light compared to dust seeds. - **Balloon Seeds:** These seeds have a balloon-like structure, which makes them larger and heavier. They are not considered light seeds. - **Plumed Seeds:** These seeds have a fluffy or bulgy structure, which also makes them heavier, thus not fitting the criteria of being very small and light. 4. **Conclusion:** Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Dust Seeds** because they are very small and light, making them suitable for air dispersal. ---
