The correct option is A Pea
Pea is a dicot exalbuminous seed. In the non-endospermic dicotyledons the endosperm is absorbed by the embryo as the latter grows within the developing seed and the cotyledons of the embryo become filled with stored food. At maturity, seeds of these species have no endosperm and are also referred to as exalbuminous seeds. The exalbuminous seeds include the legumes such as beans and peas.
