Of the five given answers I've eliminated intense heat, light, and enzymatic degradation.

Which leaves extended cold period and dehydration.  Now, which is LEAST likely to do that stuff.

I would say dehydration is least likely to result in seed germination.  Usually, as the fruit matures seeds dehydrate in preparation for dormancy.  Seeds usually need water in addition to another stimulus (eg. heat, light, degradation, cold stratification, etc.) in order to germinate.  

Extended cold period is a little confusing, though.  Many plants need cold periods to break dormancy, but they warm periods stimulate germination.  So I would stick with dehydration.
