Solution
The correct option is B Scarcification
Scarification involves cutting the seed coat using abrasion, thermal stress, or chemicals to encourage germination. The seeds of many plant species are often impervious to water and gases. Thus, preventing or delaying germination. Any process of breaking, scratching or altering the testa, seed coat, through chemical or thermal methods to make it permeable to water and gases is known as scarification.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
