C Correct answer
Explanation

If freshly harvested grains (seeds) are stored without drying, they may get spoilt or attacked by organisms, losing their germination capacity. Hence, before storing them, grains are properly dried in the sun to reduce moisture in them. This prevents the attack by pests, bacteria and fungi.
