Solution

The correct option is D karyokinesis not followed by cytokinesis
In coconut, there is liquid endosperm, which is formed as a result of free nuclear divisions. The free nuclear divisions are not followed by cytokinesis and hence there is no cell wall formation between the cells.
Endosperm is the nutritive tissue in plants that helps in the nourishment of developing embryos.
