Solution

The correct option is C Lime water in B does not change while that in C turns milky.
Potassium hydroxide solution absorbs the carbon dioxide present in air and hence lime water in B does not change colour.
Germinating seeds respire and hence release carbon dioxide in the air that turns the lime water in C milky.
