Correct Answer: ripen
Solution : The second option is correct as 'ripen' means to become mature and is ready to be plucked, which contextually fits in the sentence, while plucking of mangoes doesn't go contextually well with other options namely 'germinate', 'age' and 'grow' .
Therefore, the correct statement should be "Mangoes do not ripen all at the same time. Hence, they are not plucked on the same day."
