Answer 1

C)They are waiting for the best conditions for growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Seeds of plants require the best/optimum conditions for growth in order to germinating seed the best chances of survival.

These optimal conditions include;

Presence of Water

Adequate sunlight

Good soil, etc.

When these conditions are not present, some seeds usually stay dormant until favorable conditions are present.

For example, a coconut seed cannot survive or grow in sea/salt water, therefore, it lies dormant floating in the see until favorable conditions such as river tributaries or the seashore where it can germinate is present.
