Solution

The correct option is B Moisture
There are several external factors required for the seeds to sprout such as temperature, moisture or water, air, and light.

Out of all these factors, the most important factor is moisture. Germination of sprout does not take place without water. Water is absorbed by the seed and it softens the seed coat. It increases the permeability which in turn helps in gaseous exchange.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
