Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Child

Explanation

One plants a seed, in the sense of putting it in the ground to grow, and in the same sense one raises a child, bringing it up to grow. Temperature, height and lift can be raised, but they do not have the same relation to the verb as the seed has to planting.
