Solution

The correct option is B The seeds cannot be stored under normal conditions for the next season
Vivipary is the condition when seeds are germinated on the plant. It is an undesirable character for annual crop plants because germinated seeds cannot be stored under normal conditions for the next season. Vivipary is a phenomenon in which the germination of seeds start within the fruit while it is still attached to the parent plant and is nourished by it.
So, the correct answer is 'The seeds cannot be stored under normal conditions for the next season'
