Verified by Toppr

A dormant seed contains only 10-15% of water and is essentially dehydrated. The seed has to absorb water in order to become active. Plants grow by absorbing nutrients from the soil and all the nutrients have to be in the dissolved form.
Irrigation does not always improve soil texture. Irrigation does not protect the crops from frost. Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the land or soil. It is used to assist in the growing of agricultural crops, maintenance of landscapes, and revegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall.
Thus the correct answer is option A.
