Although Costly to Produce,the Large Number of Fruit-Producing Species Attests

Although costly to produce,the large number of fruit-producing species attests to the success of fruit production as an evolutionary adaptation; in what way is fruit production helpful?

A) Fruits attract pollinators such as insects and birds to move pollen between different plants.
B) Fruit toxins can discourage potential consumers from eating the plant.
C) Plants can store energy in fruits during summer and then later recover the energy during winter, when the fruit decomposes.
D) Consumers eating fruits also eat seeds that, when not digested, can be deposited far from the parent plant.
