Which term means capable of developing and growing?

• A. Capable of developing and growing
• B. Dead or nonviable
• C. Inert
• D. Not viable

Answer: (A)

Viability is the idea here: something that is viable can live, develop, and grow. In gardening and seed science, viability means a seed or tissue is alive enough to germinate and produce new growth. The choice that literally describes this capability—capable of developing and growing—fits the definition exactly, so it’s the correct one. The other statements describe states where growth isn’t possible: dead or nonviable means no life or growth; inert means inactive; not viable means not capable of living or growing.
