The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Statement**: The statement to evaluate is "Seeds that float in water are unfit for sowing in fields." 2. **Types of Seeds**: There are two types of seeds based on their physical characteristics: - **Hollow Seeds**: These seeds may be affected by diseases or pests, causing them to be less dense and thus float when placed in water. - **Healthy Seeds**: These seeds are dense, not hollow, and free from diseases, which allows them to sink when placed in water. 3. **Analyzing the Floating Seeds**: When seeds float in water, it indicates that they are likely hollow and unfit for sowing. This is because the floating seeds have a lower density due to internal spoilage or damage. 4. **Conclusion**: Since floating seeds are typically unfit for sowing due to their hollow nature and potential diseases, the statement is true. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the answer to the question is **True (T)**. ---
