Solution
The correct option is C Zea mays
In most monocots and some dicot seeds, the endosperm acts as the food reserve. Hence they are referred to as albuminous or endospermic. E.g:- wheat, maize (Zea mays), barley, castor, etc.
In majority of the dicot seeds and some monocot seeds, the endosperm is completely consumed during seed development and the food is stored in other storage organs like cotyledons, perisperm (persistent nucellus found in beetroot and pepper). They are referred to as non-albuminous or non-endospermic seeds. E.g:- pea (Pisum), groundnut (Arachis), bean (Phaseolus) etc.
