The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Requirement**: The question states that apples require low temperatures for flowering and fruiting. This indicates that there is a specific temperature range that is optimal for these processes. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The given options are: - 10 degrees Celsius - 7 degrees Celsius - Below 7 degrees Celsius - 10 to 15 degrees Celsius 3. **Temperature Tolerance**: It is known that apple trees (Malus domestica) require a period of cold temperatures, often referred to as "chilling hours," to break dormancy and initiate flowering. 4. **Identifying the Critical Temperature**: From the information provided, it is indicated that flowering begins at around 7 degrees Celsius or lower. This suggests that apples thrive in conditions that are colder than this threshold. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the best answer is "below 7 degrees Celsius," as this temperature is necessary for the flowering and fruiting of apple trees. 6. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct option is **below 7 degrees Celsius**. ---
