Explanation:

- The sentence refers to how fruits and vegetables undergo the process, focusing on the current state rather than the action.

- Option 1: "grows" - Incorrect because "grows" is a present tense verb acting like a singular subject, which doesn't fit here.

- Option 2: "grow" - Incorrect as it is also a present tense verb for a plural subject, but the past participle form is needed.

- Option 3: "grew" - Incorrect because "grew" is the simple past tense, inappropriate when stating a general truth or condition.

- Option 4: "grown" - Correct because "grown" is the past participle form, often used with forms of "to be" to describe the state or process of being organic.
