Explanation:

The text states that bats are important dispersal agents for fruiting trees as they drop seeds far and wide. "Dispersal" implies spreading or circulating seeds. The other options - extract (remove), immerse (submerge), nourish (provide nutrients) - do not match the context of what bats do with seeds.

Answer:

circulate
