Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The seeds can be preserved safely in cool and dry conditions.

Seeds easily re-absorb moisture. To maintain dryness, seeds are kept in air-tight containers like tin cans or glass jars with tight-fitting lids. Put in some moisture-absorbing material.
