• B. Seeds in beaker B will germinate, but seeds in beaker A will not germinate
• C. Seeds in both the beaker A and B will germinate
• D. Seeds in both the beaker A and B will not germinate

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Seeds in beaker B will germinate, but seeds in beaker A will not germinate

Seed in beaker B will germinate, showing the importance of suitable temperature for germination. The seed in beaker A may not show sign of germination, or may germinate after several day though not to the extent the seeds in beaker B germinate.
