Solution

The correct option is C
Being a diploid tissue

Perisperm is remnants of nucellus which is diploid (2n) but endosperm is triploid (3n). Perisperm occurs in the seeds of black pepper, coffee, castor, cardamom and Nymphaea. Endosperm is the food-laden tissue which is meant for nourishing the embryo in seed plants.
