Solution
The correct option is C Sucrose
The food is transported from the endosperm of the seed to the plumule of a fatty seed like castor in form of sucrose. During germination of castor bean, the stored fat in the endosperm is converted to glucose and then to sucrose because sucrose is soluble in water and it can be easily transported, moreover sucrose is a complex disaccharide and highly inert and stable so it does not undergo any intermediate reactions during the transport.So, the correct answer is option D.
