Solution

The correct option is D White
Germinating seeds carry out their respiration process at the cellular level to be able to generate energy for growth and maturation.
They do not yet have the ability to carry out photosynthesis.
As a result of respiration, carbon dioxide is released by the seeds which turn lime water milky or white.
So the correct answer is 'White'.
