Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The fruits dispersed by bats are called chiropterochorous.
The fruit bats emit a rancid and musty odour and seem to be attracted by fruits with a similar smell.
They prefer soft and sweet fruits as those of the Anacardiaceae, Meliaceae and Sapotaceae.
Bats usually do not swallow the seeds.
