Correct Answer: you will be noticed


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The word noticed is incorrect in the context of the sentence. Be is used to form the passive form and is incorrect to use in this context. Here, notice is the correct verb to use, indicating that the person who plants the seed will become aware that it requires some time for the seed to grow.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: If you plant a seed, you will notice that it takes some time to grow.
