Solution

The correct option is C 3
Non - albuminous seeds are seeds that have no residual endosperm. All the endosperm are used up during the embryonic development. Pea and groundnut are non-albuminous in nature.
Albuminous seeds have endosperm with persistent stores of nutrients. Wheat, barley and castor are examples of albuminous seeds.
