A
Yes
B
No-there is no geotropic affect
C
Yes-it will grow towards the sun (phototropism)
D
No-there is no thigmatropic affect
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Germination rates for space-produced seed were 92%, indicating that the seeds developed in microgravity were healthy and viable. Gravity is not necessary for seed-to-seed growth of plants, though it plays a direct role in plant form and may influence seed reserves.

Detailed explanation-2: -Storing seeds for growth in space But, over time, all seeds lose quality and will eventually die. In space, seeds could be stored under similar conditions inside a space station or spacecraft, but this may not be necessary for all species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Space and shaken seeds showed statistically faster germination rates than ground seeds. Space seeds had the highest germination rates.

Detailed explanation-4: -On Earth, plants take cues from gravity and light for their growth. The gravity pulls the roots down in the ground and helps orient the stem, while the light draws the stems upward. Without gravity or ample light in space, plants don’t have a good sense of where to grow.
