B
Burs or hooks attach seeds to animal fur.
C
Long stems make it easy for tall animals to eat leaves.
D
Deep roots anchor plants so seeds will drop close to the parent plant.
E
Bright, colorful petals attract animals to the flower.
Explanation
Fruits can attract animals that later disperse seeds, and burs or hooks can cling to fur and carry seeds to new locations. Bright, colorful petals attract pollinators, which can help plants reproduce. Long stems that make leaves easier to eat and deep roots that keep seeds near the parent plant do not help reproduction in the ways described.
