Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. throw.

  • The sentence talks about planting seeds into fertile ground or making seed bombs for the seeds to sprout during the rainy season.
  • In this context, the word "throw" makes sense, as you typically throw seeds into the ground or spread them in some way to plant them.
  • The other options, like "pick," "pull," or "peel," do not fit the context of planting seeds.

Hence, the correct option would be throw.
