Answer 1

Hint: The means by which angiosperms disseminate seeds are fruits. In particular, edible fruits have spread as a tool for seed dispersal and nutrition with the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship.

Complete answer:
Annona- The Annona L. genus. Due to its edible fruits and medicinal properties, it is one of the most essential members of the Annonaceae family. It is the genus name of the etaerio of berries that are custard apples. There are various active metabolite groups in this genus, such as isoquinoline and pyrimidine-beta-carboline alkaloids, acetogenins, lectins, and volatile oils. Mono and sesquiterpenes are the primary constituents of essential oils.
Rubus- In the Northern Hemisphere, the Potentilla and Rubus plants of the Rosaceae family are widely distributed and contain abundant secondary metabolites, especially various types of phenolic compounds and terpenoids. The name blackberry, which is an etaerio of drupes, is rubus.
Artabotrys- Artabotrys hexapetalus is a shrub found in India, also known as ylang ylang vine, climbing lang-lang, and its flowers are renowned for its exotic fragrance. This plant's yellow-colored flowers are very fragrant. In the beginning, the flowers are greenish and turn yellow with age and the flowers are long-lasting with a good fruity scent.
Ficus- Ficus is a genus of about 900 species of trees, shrubs and vines in the Moraceae family, many of which are commonly referred to as figs. They are native mainly to tropical areas of East Asia and are spread across the tropics of the world. Many are tall forest trees that are supported by wide spreading roots; as ornamentals, others are planted. Achenes are present in ficus, which is a synconus, shaped from only the inner margin of the receptacle.
Magnolia- Magnolia is a surprisingly diverse plant genus that includes several species appropriate for colder climates. Magnolias are generally known to have large, leathery leaves that appear very early in spring and spectacular white or pink flowers. Some species are multi-stemmed shrubby plants, while others are classic upright trees that are quite massive in size. A bunch of follicle fruits with dehiscence from a single suture are shown by the fruit on the magnolia tree. It is called the Follicle Etaerio.
So, the correct answer is “Option D”.

Note:
Big leaf magnolia, which grows leaves that can be up to 32 inches long, lives up to its name. It is normally a deciduous tree, like most magnolias, but it can be more evergreen in the warmer areas. The blooms are as much as 10 inches long and are white with purple petal bases, which usually appear in May.
