B Correct answer
Explanation

Boron plays a critical role in seed germination by facilitating cell division and elongation in the emerging embryo. It's particularly important for pollen tube growth and sugar transport during germination. While iron, magnesium, and zinc are essential for various plant processes, boron has a more direct involvement in the early stages of seed development.
