The spotted touch-me-not, a flowering plant, has seed pods that burst open when touched and forcefully eject their seeds. Such an adaptation is favorable because it:
A. can cause genetic changes to occur.
B. is an agressive defense mechanism.
C. prevents germination within the seed pod.
D. attracts insects that aid in pollination.
E. aids in the dispersal of the species.
By forcefully ejecting their seeds, it ensures that they get scattered all over, and are hopefully carried by the wind to other appropriate locations to germinate.
