Solution

The correct option is A Epicarp and mesocarp
Plum is kind of drupe in which the epicarp and mesocarp are edible whereas the endocarp forms a stony hard layer. Everything inside of the endocarp is not eaten, which includes the seed (cotyledons, embryo and endosperm).
So, the correct answer is 'Epicarp and mesocarp'.
