Solution

The correct option is A Cotyledon
Cotyledon serves as the first leave in germinating dicot plants and starts the process of photosynthesis. Endosperm is a nutritive tissue of seed and is consumed by developing embryo before seed germination. Embryonic roots are nonphotosynthetic. Apical and lateral meristems are responsible for primary and secondary growth. Thus, the correct answer is A.
