Solution

The correct option is C Cotyledons

Seeds, which store food materials in their cotyledons are called non- endospermic or exalbuminous seeds. (e.g., gram, pea, bean, almond, groundnut). Groundnut has food material store in cotyledons, so oil is stored in cotyledons. So, the correct answer is 'Cotyledons'.
