Solution

The correct option is B Legumes
Orthodox seeds are those that can be stored for a long period because these can tolerate the reduction in moisture content (up to 50%) when exposed to anaerobic conditions and low temperature, e.g., legumes and cereals. Seeds of coconut, tea, jack, etc. are recalcitrant seeds, which get killed when there is the reduction of moisture or exposure to low temperature.
So, the correct answer is option B.
