Solution

The correct option is B number of cotyledons
Angiosperms are classified into dicots and monocots. This classification is done on the basis of the number of cotyledons in the seed. The cotyledons contain the stored food reserves of the seed. Dicots have two cotyledons in the seed and monocots have a single cotyledon.
