Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Seeds of monocotyledons are Albuminous and endospermic.
A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering, along with a food reserve.
Albuminous seeds refer to those seeds that retain or restore some part of the endosperm during embryonic development.
The outer nucellus layer (perisperm) is referred to as albumen, and the inner endosperm layer is vitellus.
