AIIMS 2014 Botany Seed Germination MCQ Question

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Assertion is true but Reason is false
Both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The correct answer is B because the assertion is true; seeds do fail to germinate at extreme temperatures, as these conditions can disrupt metabolic processes essential for germination. However, the reason provided is not a correct explanation for the assertion since while deep sowing can affect germination, it is not directly related to the temperature conditions that inhibit seed sprouting.
