The correct option is D Maize
A seed in which micropyle and hilum cannot be traced is maize. In maize, the pericarp of the fruit is fused with the seed coat referred to as caryopsis, typical of the grasses, and the entire kernel is often referred to as the seed. The cob is close to a multiple fruit in structure, except that the individual fruits, the kernels never fuse into a single mass.
