The correct option is A (i) inhibits (ii) destroys Very low temperature inhibits the growth of embryo whereas very high temperature destroys the enzymes and delicate tissue of the embryo. The seeds kept at lower temperatures can resume the growth when optimum temperature is provided but seeds kept at very high temperatures get destroyed permanently.
