Solution
The correct option is B endosperm, cotyledons
Albuminous seeds are the seeds which have food stored in the special nourishing tissue called as endosperm that remains persistent till maturity. Cotyledons only act as food sucking organs and not food storage organs. e.g. Castor seed.
Exalbuminous seeds are the seeds which have the stored food and the cotyledons in a special structure called as the kernel. It does not remain until the embryo is mature. e.g. Pea seed.
So, the correct answer is 'endosperm, cotyledons'.
