• D. (i) Free-nuclear endosperm, (ii) Helobial endosperm

Answer 1

The correct option is B (i) Free-nuclear endosperm, (ii) Cellular endosperm

In coconut(Cocos nucifera), the surrounding white kernel called coconut meal is cellular endosperm and the coconut water(also called coconut milk) in the centre is free nuclear endosperm made up of thousands of nuclei.
