What would happen if you planted winter wheat in April?

Planting winter wheat in April typically leads to a situation where it grows vegetatively but doesn't have sufficient time to reach maturity and reproduce properly. Winter wheat is specially adapted to germinate in the fall, establish roots, and undergo vernalization, a natural process requiring exposure to cold temperatures, which triggers flowering and seed development. When planted in April, the wheat may grow initially as it lacks the necessary cold treatment, but it will ultimately be unable to complete its life cycle by flowering and producing grain.

This is why the other options don't fit. While winter wheat may grow and develop if planted late, it won't mature effectively, and it's unlikely to yield better than fall-planted wheat, as that crop is tailored to thrive in the given seasonal conditions. Thus, option B captures the specific agronomic understanding of winter wheat's growth requirements and flowering behavior.
