Solution

The correct option is A Presence of ferulic acid
In general seeds within the fruit do not germinate due to germination inhibitory effects of fruit pulp except viviparous germination. Tomato seeds loose viability and germination percentage up to 50% within one year after fresh extraction. Ferulic acid is a growth inhibitor in tomato. So, the correct answer is 'Presence of ferulic seed'.
