Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Cleavage type of polyembryony is seen in Coconut. The separation of embryonal cells is followed by the development of each of them into potential embryos.
Cleavage polyembryony occurs when a young embryo or zygote divides into two or more units. This is known as cleavage of zygote or budding. These units eventually develop or mature into independent embryos. It is common in gymnosperms and comparatively rare in angiosperms.
