Solution
The correct option is C Seed coat Seed coat is the outer integument of a seed. The outer protective covering of a seed. The seed coat develops from the integument of the ovule. Also called as testa. A seed is an embryonic plant enclosed in a protective outer covering called as the seed coat, usually with some stored food. It is a characteristic of spermatophyta (gymnosperm and angiosperm plants) and the product of the ripened ovule which occurs after fertilization and some growth within the mother plant. The formation of the seed completes the process of reproduction in seed plants (started with the development of flowers and pollination), with the embryo developed from the zygote and the seed coat from the integuments of the ovule.
