All of them could be an appropriate activity. What is YOUR answer?
I could make science activities out of all of those for those kids, and make each very meaningful. Frankly, on B, it would have to be simplified.

On A, I would have the kids observed, classify, and describe the leaves.
On C I would have them dissect the embryonic seeds to id the parts, and on the plants, to identify the leaves on the plants.
on d, I would have them observe what like and unlike poles do, and the effects of magnets on many kinds of objects.

I wonder who is trying to tell you what is appropriate for 6-12 year olds, and what do they know that I dont?
