Solution
The correct option is B Bottle gourd In the olden days, farmers used dried bottle gourd to make shells that were used to store seeds for the next season.
Dried bottle gourd pots were water-proof by nature. The long and narrow mouths of the pots were sealed so that pests wont feed on the seeds that are protected.
