Solution

The correct option is B The seeds cannot be stored under normal conditions for next season
Vivipary is a condition where seeds germinate on the plant. Most of the food crops are annuals and seeds are consumed as food. Therefore, if seeds germinate on the plant they cannot be utilized as food nor can they be stored for the next season. So, the correct answer is 'The seeds cannot be stored under normal conditions for next season'
