Solution

The correct option is A Cotyledons
In pulses, each seed encloses an embryo which can be examined after removing the seed coats. The bulk of embryo consists of two large, white and kidney shaped cotyledons( or seed leaves). They store reserve food material in the form of carbohydrates and proteins to provide nourishment to embryonal axis at the time of germination and growth of young seedling.
So, the correct answer is 'Cotyledons'.
