Question

This type of vegetable continues to grow after harvesting and it respires or ‘sweats’ in plastic bags.

• A. Pods
• B. Broccoli
• C. Fungi
• D. Tubers

Hint:

Tubers such as potatoes continue to respire after harvesting and require proper storage to prevent sprouting and sweating.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the question. 
The question describes vegetables that continue to grow after harvesting and exhibit respiration or sweating, which refers to the process where vegetables produce moisture and gases even after being harvested. 

Step 2: Analyzing the options. 
(A) Pods: Incorrect. Pods, such as peas or beans, generally stop growing after harvesting, and they do not respire or sweat. 
(B) Broccoli: Incorrect. Broccoli stops growing once harvested and does not continue to respire or sweat significantly. 
(C) Fungi: Incorrect. Fungi (like mushrooms) do not grow after harvesting and are not classified as vegetables. 
(D) Tubers: Correct. Tubers, like potatoes, continue to grow after harvesting and will respire or sweat when stored, especially in plastic bags. 

Step 3: Conclusion. 
Therefore, the correct answer is (D) Tubers, as they continue to grow after harvesting and can exhibit respiration or sweating. 

Final Answer: Tubers.
