- ADue to hard seed coat
- BDue to unfavourable conditions
- CDue to ABA
- ✓All of these

Answer
Correct option: D.
All of these
d
As the seed matures, its water content is reduced and seed becomes relatively dry ($10-15\%$ moisture by mass). The general metabolic activity of the embryo slows down. The embryo may enter a state of inactivity called dormancy. When favourable condition are available (adequate moisture, oxygen, suitable temperature) seeds germinate
