Solution

The movement of seeds to a new location by wind is an example of Abiotic dispersal. This is because "abiotic" refers to non-living factors in an environment. The wind, being a non-living factor, is therefore categorized as abiotic. In contrast, biotic factors would include living organisms. Thus, if seeds were dispersed by animals (mammals), it would be an example of biotic dispersal. Ballistic dispersal refers to the natural explosion of plant parts, leading to seed dispersal.
