Answer: Option D nutrients
Explanation: at the onset of germination, nutrients is not needed for seed germination. A viable seed has all it it inside of it to grow. For seeds to grow in any environment, they need water, light in some cases, depth of seed planted,temperature in some cases, and oxygen. It is later in it's growth mostly one or 2 weeks that the plant start needing nutrient. Some food crops like vegetables needs nutrients mostly immediately or a day after germination has already occued.
They lack roots and any sort of transportation system within their them, so they place themselves in moist environments close to water. This way, they can absorb water quickly and easily.
