Solution

The correct option is C Cotyledons
The marketed edible part of cashew is the cotyledons. The seed of cashew nut contains an outside covering which is not edible and thus, is removed before being marketed. The thalamus forms the fruit of the cashew nut tree and is a by-product of the industry as it is very perishable.
The correct answer is 'Cotyledons'.
