Solution
The correct option is A Seeds kept in air tight container
Sprouting is the germination of seed. Conditions required for germination of seed are air and water. Nutrients are already present in the cotyledons which are used by the upcoming seedling to germinate.
In an airtight jar, there is not enough oxygen for the seed to actively respire and provide energy for germination.
