Question

after the hardening off process, the cuttings are ready to be ______. a. trimmed b. lined out c. treated with fungicide d. stored in a dry place

Explanation:

In horticulture (a subfield of Biology, which is under Natural Science), the hardening off process prepares plant cuttings for being "lined out" (planted in a row or bed to grow further). Trimming is done before/after, fungicide treatment is earlier, and storing dry isn't typical post - hardening off. So the correct option is related to the next step in plant propagation after hardening off.

Answer:

b. lined out
