Answer:
(a) Crop
Crop may be defined as the same kind of plants that are grown on the large scale.
(b) Preparation
Before growing crops, preparation of soil is done. In this process, turning and loosening steps of the soil is done. It allows the roots to penetrate deep into the soil.
(c) Float
The damaged seeds are light in weight. That is why they float on water whereas the fresh seeds are heavy in weight so they easily settle down in the bottom.
