Solution

The correct option is D Pea and groundnut
Endosperm is a food laden tissue, surrounding the embryo on all sides or either present on one side of the embryo. It is of two types:
1. Non-endospermic or exalbuminous seeds
2. Endospermic or albuminous seeds.
In these seeds like pea, groundnut, the endosperm is completely consumed by the embryo, which belongs to the non-endospermous seeds category.
