Solution

The correct option is A Endosperm

The aleurone layer is the outer proteinaceous layer of the endosperm whereas the inner layer of the endosperm is rich in starch.

The embryo is the early stage of development of multicellular organisms which develop from the zygote by a process called embryogeny.

The outer seed covering is known as testa. It is the outermost protective covering of the seed.

The inner seed covering is known as tegmen. It is a thin and membranous, protective inner covering of the seed. It protects the embryo from dehydration and mechanical damages.
