How can frost damage crops?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It can damage tender plant cells by forming ice crystals

Answer: D. Frost occurs when temperatures fall to freezing or below, allowing ice to form on exposed surfaces and potentially within delicate plant tissues. Ice crystals can injure cell membranes and disrupt the cells’ normal functioning. As a result, leaves, flowers, or young shoots may wilt, blacken, or stop growing, and crop yield may decline. D is correct because it explains the direct physical damage caused by freezing. A is wrong because frost does not instantly turn a plant into soil. B is wrong because frost does not completely stop rainfall. C is wrong because frost may occur during a short cold period and does not permanently block sunlight. A useful warning is that dew is liquid water, whereas frost is frozen deposition or ice associated with freezing temperatures. Memory cue: frost plus tender tissue means possible ice-crystal injury.
