Solution

The correct option is C Protein
Aleurone grains are found in endosperm of monocots. They are rich in proteins which help in the growth and development of the seed. It is the outermost layer of the endosperm, which is followed by the inner starchy endosperm. During seed germination, the plant embryo produces the hormone gibberellin, which triggers the aleurone cells to release α-amylase for the hydrolysis of starch and proteases for the hydrolysis of storage proteins into the endosperm.
So, the correct answer is option C.
