Solution

The correct option is C Seeds.
When sufficient moisture is present in the environment, seeds absorb water and swell. This triggers enzyme activity. All seeds store nutrients, usually starch, and the appropriate enzymes digest it to release glucose as an energy source. With a supply of energy, cellular respiration can occur.
Respiration rate is minimum in seeds as they store energy for the growing embryo present inside.
