Solution

The correct option is B Cotyledons
Cotyledons are the leaves of the embryo, which stores food for the growth of embryo during its development. Groundnut belongs to the family Fabaceae which is a dicot which stores food in the form of oil reserve in the cotyledons. There are no underground tubers and endosperm is completely consumed during its growth into the embryo.
So, the correct option is B.
