Solution

The correct option is D

Protein


The aleurone grain - a protein body - is a specialized dry vacuole where storage proteins accumulate in a stable form in seeds, usually in the endosperm. The aleurone layer is largely a collection of cells containing aleurones. These act as a source of amino acids for various synthetic activities during germination, but also represent immensely important nutritional sources for humans and ruminants.
