    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Orthodox seeds are those which can be stored for a long period because these can tolerate reduction in moisture content (upto50%), exposure to anaerobic conditions and low temperature, eg, legumes and cereals. Seeds of coconut, tea, jack, etc, are recalcitrant seeds, which get killed when there is reduction of moisture or exposure to low temperature.
