Under which condition would tomatoes fail to ripen and turn red?

Show Answers

If they were placed at the lowest level inside the containerIf they were stored together with mature applesIf the container did not contain any ripe applesIf a smaller amount of hay had been added to the container

Explanation

Tomatoes ripen and turn red due to the presence of ethylene gas, which is emitted by ripe fruits such as apples. Without ripe apples in the container, there is insufficient ethylene to trigger the ripening process, so tomatoes would not turn red.
