• A. Both A and B
• B. None of the above
• C. Epigeal germination

Hypogeal germination
During hypogeal germination, the epicotyl elongates and the plumule emerges out of the soil. The cotyledons remain underground or just above the surface. They do not turn green and eventually dry up and fall off. Examples include monocot seeds like rice, wheat etc.

(B) Hypogeal germination
