Solution

The correct option is B epiblast
Dicot plants have two cotyledons in a seed. In monocots, the first cotyledon is called scutellum while the second cotyledon is rudimentary and is called – epiblast. It is a small flap-like outgrowth. It is formed by the remains of second cotyledon which is not truly developed in monocots. Hence, monocots are said to possess one cotyledon.
