To reproduce, many plants produce seeds-structures containing embryonic offspring along with nutrients inside a tough coat. These offspring develop after being released by the parent plant. To which animal reproductive "strategy" is seed production most comparable?
A) oviparous reproduction
B) ovoviviparous reproduction
C) viviparous reproduction
D) internal development and ballistic dispersal

Seed production is most comparable to oviparous reproduction, which involves producing eggs with a protective shell that can be laid outside of the parent's body. Similarly, seeds are structures containing embryonic offspring with nutrients surrounded by a protective coat that can be released for external development.
