Land-based plants must have mechanisms to disperse and scatter their seeds so that new plants don't grow in the shadow of old plants. which of the following do gymnosperms, such as pine trees, rely on to disperse fertilized seed cones? a. wind b. animals that eat the seeds c. animals, seed wings, and wind d. seed wing structures

B. Animals that eat the seeds

Explanation:

The pine trees and the trees alike, in general tend to rely on the animals to disperse their seeds. The seeds of the plants like this usually fall on the ground bellow the tree. As they fall, the animals are able to eat them and they do as they are very nutritional to them. While the animals manage to digest the majority of the cones, they are not able to do so with the seeds, so they release them by defecting them. As the seeds get on the ground, they are able to grow, thus giving rise to new trees, and achieving the goal of dispersal.
