The correct option is C Drying in sunlight
The improved solar energy treatment (ISET), which consisted of soaking of seeds in water (1:1 w/v) in a galvanized tub tightly covered with a transparent polythene sheet during September for 6 h (08.00-14.00 h) and keeping the seeds under the sun, was most effective, providing more than 96% control of loose smut, 73.64% control of Karnal bunt, and complete control of flag smut. The treatment had no adverse effects on seed germination. So, the correct option is C. (Drying in sunlight )
