Solution

The correct option is C If the assertion is true but the reason is false
Albuminous seeds are those where endosperm is present, as in maize and Castor bean. The endosperm persists in their seeds. In ex albuminous seeds, the endosperm is completely absorbed by the growing embryo and the food reserve gets stored in the cotyledons.
