The correct option is C Utilization of stored food

In monocotyledonous endospermic seed, endosperm is surrounded by a special one- cell thick layer, called aleurone layer.Its main function is to nourish the embryo enclosed in the seed. It is protein rich coat formed by the outermost layer of endospermic cells. It actively secretes few enzymes which help in the process of seed germination. So, the correct answer is 'Utilization of stored food'.
