Answer 1

The correct option is A

A. Hypocotyl, B. Cotyledon, C. Epicotyl

The type of germination which takes place above the ground, where the hypocotyl elongates, pushing the cotyledons above the ground is called epigeal germination. The epicotyl, in later stages elongates and developes further bearing true leaves.
