How can the LSAT writers force us to assume that all of the seeds that are churned up to the surface by plowing are somehow all redeposited back underneath the surface? Even if plowing is done only at night, I would argue that some seeds would inevitably be left on the surface and exposed to sunlight the following day. These exposed seeds could germinate/grow, especially if the field is plowed multiple times, in which case these same exposed seeds could be redeposited underneath the soil (if that necessitates or aids the seeds' growth). Which leads us to (B), since an un-plowed field would not be exposed to this phenomenon. The assumption that they are forcing us to make, namely that all seeds plowed are immediately re-deposited back under the surface, is to my mind a very unrealistic assumption. It seems to defy the laws of probability.
