Explanation:

Question 4 (Maple Fruit and Seed)

Maple fruits have wing - like structures. These structures allow them to be carried by the wind. The wind can lift the fruit (with the seed inside) and carry it to a new location away from the parent plant.

Burrs have small hooks or barbs on their surface. When animals pass by, these hooks can attach to the fur (or feathers, in the case of birds) of the animals. As the animals move around, they carry the burr (and the seed inside) to different places, away from the parent plant.

Answer:

The maple fruit (with seed) has wing - like structures, so it is most likely carried away from the parent plant by the wind.
