• A. Irreversible change
• B. Periodic change
• C. Undesirable change
• D. Fast change

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Irreversible change

Explanation of correct option:

A. Irreversible change

• Any changes which cannot be reversed or are permanent conversions are known as irreversible changes.
• The germination of a seed is an irreversible change because once the seed is germinated, it cannot be reversed to seed again, that's why it is an irreversible change.

Explanation of incorrect options:

B. Periodic change

• Periodic changes are the changes that repeat themselves after a regular interval of time.
• Germination of a seed is not a periodic change because once it is germinated, it cannot be reversed back to a seed.
• For example, the occurrence of the full moon is a periodic change.

C. Undesirable change

• Germination of a seed is not an undesirable change because these changes are beneficial to nature and do not cause any harm to nature.

D. Fast change

• Germination of seed is a slow change because it takes a few days to months to germinate into a Seedling from a seed. So, it is not a fast change.

Hence, option (A) is correct
