Write things down:
1. fuzzy seeds ----> long stems and no white flowers
2. curled leaves ----> white flowers
3. thorny seedpods ----> curled leaves
Now, the specimen has long stems and curled leaves. From 2, the specimen must have white flowers, so E is out. Again, because it has white flowers, then it can't have fuzzy seeds (from 1).
We're left with answer options A, B and C.
Take each one down:
A. Although if a plant has thorny seedpods it will also have curled leaves, the reverse might not be true. A could be true, but we can't be sure.
B. As with A, it might be possible, but we don't know for sure if it is or not.
C. Is correct. If the plant had fuzzy seeds, then it would not have white flowers (as pointed out in 1). But it has! So indeed this is the answer.
