Solution
The correct option is B liquid endosperm
The primary endosperm nucleus of coconut undergoes a number of free nuclear divisions. When the fruit is about 50 mm long the embryo sac remains filled with a watery fluid or milk containing free nuclei and fine cytoplasmic particles. At a later stage when the fruit becomes about 100 mm in length the liquid shows in addition to free nuclei, several cells each enclosing variable number of nuclei. Gradually these cells and free nuclei set at the periphery of the cavity, and layers of cellular endosperm are formed, and this becomes the coconut meat. On maturity of coconuts the endosperm does not have free nuclei or cells.
