A
Respiration is always occuring
B
Some seeds will need light
C
The absorption of water
D
Temperature has reached a favorable level for germination.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is Imbibition? Imbibition is a type of diffusion where the water is absorbed by the solid particles called colloids, causing an enormous increase in volume. The solution is not formed in the process. In other words, water absorption by colloids is known as imbibition. Colloids are hydrophilic in nature.

Detailed explanation-2: -: the action or process of assimilating, taking into solution, or taking in liquid. especially : the taking up of fluid by a colloidal system resulting in swelling.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most water absorption takes place in the distal third of the small intestine, but the bulk of intestinal water is absorbed by the large intestine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Imbibition is the absorption or adsorption of water by the solid and hydrophilic contents of the cell wall by surface attraction, without forming a solution. The water this absorbed is called imbibate, and the substance that imbibed water is called imbibant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Imbibition is an Adsorption component because of the following reasons: Water Absorption is a solid Adsorbent particle that makes it increase in volume without making a solution called Imbibition. Solid materials or adsorbents that participate in the binding are called imbibants, e.g., seeds, dry wood.
