Question:medium

Which of the following statements are INCORRECT about 'Enforced seed dormancy'?
• [(A).] Enforced seed dormancy occurs due to certain genetical and physiological factors. 
• [(B).] Enforced seed dormancy is truly a specific character of the seeds. 
• [(C).] High soil temperature and $NO_3$ content of the surface soil may help break the enforced seed dormancy. 
• [(D).] Cultivation practices may also break the enforced seed dormancy by exposing the seeds to better aeration. 
Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 
 

Show Hint

To distinguish between dormancy types:
- Innate Primary: Internal genetic/physiological blocks (present when seed shed).
- Induced Secondary: Acquired block due to exposure to unfavorable conditions.
- Enforced: Simply waiting for favorable conditions (e.g., lack of water or light).
