Solution

The correct option is B Immersing the grains in water.
The most appropriate and simple method of separating good quality grains from the damaged ones is by immersing all the grains in water. Doing this will cause damaged or bad grains to float up because they are hollow. The viable or good seeds, on the other hand, will sink and settle at the bottom.
