    B Contains more moisture and lower sucrose content, and immature internodes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Contains younger undamaged buds without any covering of scales Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Contains more buds per unit length of cane Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The top one-third to half portion of a cane being comparatively immature has buds of high viability and is best for sowing. The lower half portion of the sugarcane is not preferred for planting (sowing) as it contains less moisture and higher sucrose content, and matured internodes.
