Answer 1

The correct option is D Seed coverings are removed.

$\bullet$ A seed drill is a sowing device that sows the seeds at equal distances apart from each other and at a proper depth, ensuring the availability of the proper amount of nutrients for each seed. After placing the seed, the drill covers it with enough soil to rule out the chances of it being picked and eaten by birds.
$\bullet$ Seed coverings and their straw is removed post-harvest by a farm machine called, thresher.
