Solution
The correct option is C Coleorhiza and coleoptile
The coleoptile and coleorhiza are sheaths that enclose plumule and radicle of the monocot seed, respectively. This is a characteristic feature that is present in monocots.
Seeds have a seed coat with two layers - outer testa and inner tegmen. The testa is thick and the tegmen is thin and membranous. Both layers develop from the outer and the inner layers (integuments) of the ovule.
