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

Its c ,animals ,seed wings and wind

Explanation:

There are mainly 2 ways the seeds of gymnosperms are dispersed :-

The gymnosperms that are old become rip and their cones open up and the seeds are dispersed by the wind.There are small seed wings present on seeds that take the seed to long distance places The fruit of the gymnosperms gets eaten by the animals in different places as its their source of food .The seeds are not digested by the animals and excreted as a result the seed is dispersed far away from the source
