The correct answer is option 1: Long hairs.

Comose seeds are seeds that have long hairs, also known as pappus, attached to them. These hairs are often feathery or fluffy in appearance and help the seeds to be dispersed by wind. The presence of long hairs on the seeds helps in increasing their surface area, allowing them to be carried away easily by even a gentle breeze. This adaptation allows the seeds to be distributed over a larger area, increasing the chances of germination and survival. It is important to note that although some seeds may have wings, bristles, or hooks for dispersal, the term "comose" specifically refers to seeds with long hairs. Therefore, options 2, 3, and 4 are not correct in this context.
