Solution
The correct option is B Imbibition
During those 45 mins, imbibition took place. Imbibition is a special type of diffusion when water was absorbed by these moistened gram seeds. This developed into a higher pressure called as imbibition pressure, which lead to the shattering of glass.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
